Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients: This helps the ingredients blend together more easily and evenly, resulting in a smoother, more consistent cake.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This incorporates air into the mixture, which helps the cake rise and become tender.
- Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This helps prevent the eggs from curdling and ensures that they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Sift the flour before measuring it: This helps to aerate the flour and prevent it from becoming lumpy.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This helps to ensure that the cake rises evenly and bakes through properly.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it: This helps to prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake.
