Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cake batter to come together smoothly and evenly.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined. Over-mixing the batter can result in a tough cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake rises evenly.
- Cool the cake completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
