Great cakes come down to a few simple habits. Always start with ingredients at room temperature, so they blend smoothly and rise evenly. Measure carefully baking is a science and avoid overmixing once the flour goes in, as this can make a cake dense. Preheat your oven fully, resist opening the door too early, and test with a skewer: it should come out clean. Let cakes cool before frosting so the icing stays put.
