  • Measure Accurately: Baking is a science, so it's important to measure your ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale for the best results.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your cake will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Cake in a Preheated Oven: This will help the cake rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the middle.
  • Cool the Cake Completely Before Frosting: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from sliding off the cake.
