Secret Tricks for the Softest Cake Ever
- Use Room-Temperature Ingredients: Butter, eggs, and milk at room temperature ensure even mixing and better texture.
- Sift the Flour: Removing lumps from the flour keeps the batter smooth and prevents dense spots in the cake.
- Don’t Overmix: Stop stirring once there are no visible streaks of flour to keep the crumb light and airy.
- Add Buttermilk (or Substitute): Buttermilk adds tenderness; if unavailable, mix 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar with milk and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Cool Properly: Letting the cake cool completely before frosting ensures maximum fluffiness.
