For an extra moist cake, wrap the cooled cake tightly in plastic wrap and let it sit overnight before frosting. Be sure to use cake flour for the best texture. All-purpose flour can be used as a substitute, but the cake may not be as tender. Room temperature ingredients are crucial for a smooth batter and even baking. Don't overmix the batter after adding the flour, as this can develop the gluten and result in a tough cake.
