Tips:

Use room temperature ingredients. This helps the ingredients blend together more smoothly and creates a more consistent batter.
Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This helps ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This helps prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake.
Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature. The cake will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
