  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Sift the flour before adding it to the batter. This will help ensure that the flour is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake rises evenly.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
