For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. This helps create a smooth and even batter.
Don't overmix the batter once you add the flour; overmixing can result in a tough cake.
To prevent the cake from sticking, grease the tube pan thoroughly and dust it with flour, tapping out any excess.
If the cake is browning too quickly, tent it loosely with aluminum foil during the last 20-30 minutes of baking.
Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
