Cake flavors are incredibly diverse, ranging from sweet and rich to subtle and savory. The flavors depend heavily on the ingredients used, which can include fruits, nuts, spices, chocolate, extracts, and liqueurs.
Common flavor profiles include: Vanilla (subtle and creamy), Chocolate (rich and intense, ranging from dark to milk), Fruit-based (citrus, berries, apples, bananas providing sweetness and acidity), Nutty (almonds, walnuts, pecans offering texture and flavor), Spice-infused (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves adding warmth and complexity), Coffee (bitter and aromatic), Caramel (sweet and buttery), and Cheese (rich and tangy, commonly used in cheesecakes).

Accurate Measurements
Use accurate measurements for all ingredients, especially leavening agents like baking powder or baking soda, as these significantly impact the cake's texture.
Room Temperature Ingredients
Use room temperature ingredients (eggs, butter, milk) for better emulsification and a smoother batter.
Proper Mixing
Avoid overmixing the batter, as this can develop gluten and result in a tough cake. Mix until just combined.
Oven Temperature
Ensure your oven temperature is accurate. Use an oven thermometer to verify the temperature and adjust as needed.
Cooling Properly
Cool the cake in the pan for a specified time before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents the cake from sticking and collapsing.
