Grease and flour the pan. Lightly grease the pan, then coat it in flour, tapping out any extra. This makes it much easier to remove the cake.
Don’t over-measure the flour. I recommend fluffing the flour up, then leveling it off gently with your finger. This helps prevent it from getting too packed in. Too much flour makes for dry cake.
The batter will be thin. Don’t panic. That’s how it’s supposed to look!
Check for doneness. Use a toothpick to check that the cake is done. Just insert it into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is good to go.
Cool the cake completely. If you try to cut it into cubes while it’s still hot, you’ll just end up with mush.
