The Art of Baking a Perfect Cake
Preheat the Oven: Always preheat your oven to the required temperature before placing your cake inside. This ensures even baking.
Prepare Your Pans: Grease your pans and line them with parchment paper to prevent sticking. This is especially important for delicate cakes.
3. Mixing the Batter:
Creaming Butter and Sugar: Start by creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This incorporates air into the batter, which helps the cake rise.
Adding Eggs: Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. This ensures a smooth, homogeneous batter.
Dry and Wet Ingredients: Alternate adding the dry ingredients (flour, leavening agents) and wet ingredients (milk, extracts) to the batter. This helps to prevent overmixing and ensures a tender cake.
