Tips:

  • To ensure the cake is perfectly cooked, insert a toothpick or skewer into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • For a moist and fluffy cake, make sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This incorporates air into the mixture, which helps the cake rise.
  • To prevent the cake from becoming dry, do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough cake.
  • For a smooth and creamy frosting, make sure the cream cheese and butter are at room temperature before mixing. This will help them blend together easily.
  • If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
