- You don’t want so as to add the eggs one after the other. However you do have to beat them properly earlier than including every other substances. I recommend whisking the eggs for about 45 seconds to include sufficient air into the batter.
- Don’t over combine the cake batter. Over mixing will create a dry and dense cake. When you’ve added the dry substances into the batter, you need to combine as minimally as doable.
- Keep away from over baking your cake, which may dry it out. Baking instances are solely estimates, and might differ relying in your oven and baking pan.
- Cool the cake within the baking pan, on a wire rack, for 12 minutes precisely! Then flip it out onto the wire rack to chill utterly.
