Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients: This helps the ingredients blend together more easily and results in a smoother batter.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This incorporates air into the mixture, which makes the cake lighter and more tender.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This helps to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Sift the dry ingredients together before adding them to the wet ingredients: This helps to ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This helps to ensure that the cake rises evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This helps to prevent the frosting from melting.
