Tips:

  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • 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 the frosting to set properly.
  • Serve the cake with your favorite frosting. Cream cheese frosting, whipped cream, or maple frosting are all great options.
