Tips for this cake

• Cake Batter: After adding the dry ingredients, avoid overbeating the cake batter. Overmixing can result in a tougher cake texture, so mix just until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated.
• Mixing Tools: You have several options for mixing the cake batter and buttercream, including using an electric hand mixer, a pastry whisk, or your stand mixer with either the whisk attachment or the paddle attachment. Use the method that you find most convenient.
• Baking Check: To check if the cake is baked through, insert a knife blade or toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean without any crumbs clinging to it, the cake is done. If not, you can extend the baking time by 5 minutes and check again.
