Quick Wins for Perfect Cakes
First thing – measure ingredients accurately. A kitchen scale beats a set of cups for consistency. Next, avoid over‑mixing. Once the flour hits the batter, stir just until you see no streaks. This keeps the crumb tender whether you’re making a simple vanilla cake or a chocolate‑rich one.
Temperature matters, too. Let your butter and eggs sit at room temperature before you start. It helps the batter blend smoothly and the cake rise evenly. And always pre‑heat your oven fully; a cold oven leads to a dense, uneven texture.
