Tips for Baking Cakes
- If you have a butter based cake, be sure your butter is softened. This is crucial for getting smooth cake batter.
- Always use room temperature dairy (eggs, milk, sour cream, cream cheese, butter). Recipes will usually mention this, but even if they don't you should be using room temperature dairy. This will prevent butter from seizing up and creating lumpy cake batter. If you have lumps in your cake batter then this will transfer to the finished cake and will produce a dry cake, versus a light and tender crumb.
- Always store homemade cake in an airtight container or a cake dome. This will help keep cake moist and fresh for a couple days.
- You can freeze cake by wrapping in plastic wrap and storing in the freezer.
