Tips for Success
• Ensure your eggs are at room temperature before mixing. This helps create a lighter and fluffier cake by allowing the eggs to incorporate more air when beaten.
• When measuring flour, spoon it into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife. Avoid scooping directly from the bag, as this can compact the flour and lead to a denser cake.
• Let the cake cool completely in the pan before flipping it out. This prevents the cake from breaking and ensures that it maintains its shape, especially when using a custard topping.
