Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    All-purpose flour works fine for this recipe, but if you like your cakes with a very light, velvety texture, use cake flour instead. Look for it near the other flours in the baking aisle of your grocery store.
  • tip 2
    To ensure recipe success, do not use self-rising flour or vegetable oil spreads in this recipe.
  • tip 3
    Can’t find the time to make from-scratch frosting during the busy holiday season? Use two 16-ounce tubs of ready-to-spread frosting instead.
