Tips for Perfect Vanilla Cake Bliss
-
Don't Over mix the Batter: Mix the ingredients only until just combined. Over mixing can lead to a dense and less fluffy cake.
-
Check for Doneness: Use a toothpick to check the centre of the cake for doneness. A clean toothpick or one with a few moist crumbs indicates that the cake is ready. Avoid over baking to keep the cake moist.
