Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cake batter to mix together more smoothly and evenly.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the cake lighter and more tender.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Sift the flour before adding it to the batter. This will help to ensure that the cake is light and airy.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake rises evenly.
- Test the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
