Use Room Temperature Eggs

Cold eggs do not whip as well. Room temperature eggs create more volume and a lighter cake.

Do Not Overmix the Batter

Gentle folding keeps the air inside the mixture and creates a soft texture.

Measure Flour Correctly

Too much flour can make the cake heavy. Use accurate measurements for the best results.

Avoid Opening the Oven Too Early

Opening the oven during the first part of baking can cause the cake to collapse.

Cool Completely Before Decorating

A warm cake can make frosting melt and become difficult to spread.
