Tips
Fill your cake cases 1/2 to 2/3 full. Don't overmix your batter. Bring all ingredients to room temperature before mixing your batter. If the cakes aren't finished cooking after 15 mins, place them back in the oven for some additional cooking time. Cakes are done when a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Place your cake pan in the very centre of your oven.
