Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This helps the ingredients blend together more easily and evenly, resulting in a smoother, more consistent batter.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This incorporates air into the mixture, which makes the cake lighter and more tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This prevents the eggs from curdling.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. This helps to prevent the batter from becoming too thick or lumpy.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can toughen the cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This helps the cake to rise evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This helps the frosting to set properly.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
