Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Always use fresh ingredients whenever possible. This will give your cakes the best flavor and texture.
- Don't Overmix: When mixing the batter, be careful not to overmix it. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
