  • Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients blend together smoothly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, making your cake light and airy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Sift the flour and spices together before adding them to the batter. This will help ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you are using a store-bought caramel sauce, warm it up before using it. This will make it easier to spread on the cake.
  • Serve the cake at room temperature. This will allow the flavors to fully develop.
