π Top tip
Another important factor in making a perfect white cake is to not overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to a tough and dense cake, so be sure to mix just until the ingredients are combined. And remember to alternate between adding the dry ingredients and the milk, to ensure a smooth and even batter.
When it comes to decorating, the possibilities are endless. Whether you prefer a classic buttercream frosting, or something a little more adventurous, Homemade White Cake is the perfect canvas for your creativity. So, why wait? Get your apron on and your mixing bowl ready, and let’s bake up a delicious and beautiful Homemade White Cake! Happy baking!
