Tips:

  • Creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy helps incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter cake.
  • Adding sour cream or yogurt to the batter helps to tenderize the cake and keep it moist.
  • Be sure to thoroughly mix the dry ingredients before adding them to the wet ingredients to avoid lumps.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
  • For a golden brown crust, brush the top of the cake with melted butter before baking.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving.
