Room Temperature Ingredients: It's easier to mix the batter when your butter, cream cheese, and eggs are at room temperature. This also helps improve the cake's texture.
Avoid Overmixing the Batter: Combine the ingredients just enough without overdoing it. Overmixing can lead to a dense or tough cake.
Keep an Eye on the Oven: Baking times may vary with different ovens. Start checking your cake around the 32-minute mark. Use a toothpick to test doneness - if it comes out clean, your cake is ready.
Cool Before Frosting: Wait until the cake is completely cool before adding frosting. Frosting it while warm could cause the cake to crumble and become messy.
