Critical Success Points

  • Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy – this creates the cake’s airy texture.
  • Do not over‑mix after adding flour; stop when batter is just combined.
  • Bake until a toothpick comes out clean – underbaking leads to a gummy center.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven and pan with oven mitts to avoid burns.
