Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, gather and measure all of your ingredients and equipment. 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 make your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven can affect the texture of your cake. Be sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
