Tips
- Use room temperature eggs for easier blending and improved texture.
- Ensure baking molds are well-greased and lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Let cake layers cool for at least 10 minutes before removing them from the molds.
- Assemble the cake right away to ensure the frosting spreads smoothly and evenly.
- If the frosting hardens, gently melt it using a double boiler, then whip it with a mixer until smooth and creamy.
