- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
- Gradually add the eggs, one at a time: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
- Mix in the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk: This will help prevent the batter from becoming too stiff.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
