  2. Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that butter, eggs, and any dairy products are at room temperature for a smoother batter and better texture.
  3. Sift Dry Ingredients: Sift flour, baking powder, and any spices to prevent lumps and ensure even distribution throughout the batter.
  4. Grease the Pan Well: Thoroughly grease and flour the cake pan to prevent sticking.
