Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
- Use room temperature ingredients: This will help your ingredients mix together more easily and create a smoother batter.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can toughen the cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the middle.
- Don't open the oven door during baking: This can cause the cake to fall.
- Use a toothpick or cake tester to check for doneness: Insert the toothpick or cake tester into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly.
