Tips:

- Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients for the most accurate results. - Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients to blend together more smoothly. - Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a more tender cake. - Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling. - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Over-mixing can result in a tough cake. - Pour the batter into a greased and floured bundt pan or loaf pan. - Bake the cake at the temperature and for the time specified in the recipe. - Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving.
