Required Kitchen Tools

To make a smooth and successful Yellow Velvet Cake, having the right kitchen tools will save you time and ensure the perfect texture:
  1. Stand or Hand Mixer: For creaming butter, sugar, and incorporating eggs smoothly.
  2. Mixing Bowls: Medium and large bowls for separating dry and wet ingredients.
  3. Measuring Cups & Spoons: Accuracy matters in baking, so measure ingredients carefully.
  4. Spatula & Whisk: To scrape the bowl and fold the batter evenly.
  5. Two 9-inch Round Cake Pans: Greased and lined with parchment paper for easy release.
  6. Cooling Rack: Helps the cake cool evenly and prevents sogginess.
