Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cake batter to emulsify properly and create a smooth, even texture.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake to rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the middle.
- Do not open the oven door during baking. This can cause the cake to fall.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This will help the frosting to set properly and prevent it from sliding off the cake.
