Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help your cake batter mix together more smoothly and evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs to the batter, one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
