  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake rises evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
