• Measure the Ingredients and Mix Them Well:

  You may have heard every other baker saying that measuring your ingredients accurately should be your utmost priority. It is very important to follow the recipe to the point so that you can achieve the perfect consistency of the cake batter. In fact, not only measuring the ingredients but mixing them correctly is quite important too, to make sure that your cake turns out light and airy.



• Let Your Cake Cool Down Completely before Applying Frosting on It:

  In order to achieve that perfect texture and look of your cake, make sure that you are letting it chill in the freezer before applying the frosting on it. When the cake cools down completely, it becomes much easier to work on, because of its sturdiness. This will ensure that the cake won’t crumble when you start applying the frosting on it.



• Buttering the Pan is Important:

  Every single step matters a lot when you are learning how to make a cake at home. Even when you get the batter and its consistency just right, you won’t want your cake to be stuck in the mould. This is why never forget to butter your cake mould or pan to make sure that the cake doesn’t stick to it. You can use some softened butter to grease it and then use all-purpose flour to coat the butter on it.



• Keep All the Ingredients Ready Beforehand:

  A cake requires lots and lots of ingredients and this is why we would recommend that you should not wait till the last moment to get them together. Rather than finding and pouring the ingredients as the recipe goes, you should better get them measured and ready in bowls beforehand. This will give you the time and flow to prepare the batter in a precise way.
