Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help your cake batter mix together more smoothly and evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Sift the flour before adding it to the batter. This will help ensure that the flour is evenly distributed throughout the batter and that there are no lumps.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can toughen the cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
