Making a moist cake every time can seem tricky, but I’ve learned some helpful tips that can make it easier!

1. Choose the Right Ingredients:

• Flour: Use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour. Cake flour is lighter and makes a softer cake because it has less protein.
• Eggs: Don’t skip the eggs! They add moisture and make the cake rich. It's best to use eggs that are at room temperature because they mix in better.

2. Mix Carefully: If you mix too much after adding flour, you can end up with a dense cake. Instead, gently fold in the dry ingredients until they are just mixed.

3. Add Extra Moisture:

• Sour Cream or Yogurt: You can replace some of the liquid in the recipe with sour cream or yogurt. This adds moisture and a bit of tangy flavor.
• Vegetable Oil: Cakes made with oil are usually moister than those made with butter. You can even mix both if you like!

4. Watch the Baking Time and Temperature:

• Baking too long can cause the cake to dry out. Using an oven thermometer can help you check that your oven is at the right temperature.
• To test if your cake is done, insert a toothpick about 2 inches from the edge. If it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, the cake is ready!

5. Cool the Cake Right: Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. After that, move it to a wire rack. This helps keep the moisture in.

By following these simple tips, you can make moist cakes that impress everyone! Happy baking!
