Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will produce the best-tasting cake. Use real butter, eggs, and milk, and avoid using any processed or artificial ingredients.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the cake, making it light and airy.
  • Gradually add the eggs to the butter-sugar mixture: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cake from curdling.
  • Sift the flour and baking powder together: This will help to ensure that the cake is light and fluffy.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This is important to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Do not open the oven door during baking: Doing so will cause the cake to fall.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
