Tips:

Mise en place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your cake. Use fresh carrots, eggs, and butter, and choose a good quality coffee.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Use a bundt pan: A bundt pan will give your cake a beautiful, classic shape.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to tell if the cake is done baking.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly.
