Helpful tips

The holes that you make in the flour aren't really necessary but I've always done it this way
When you mix with a fork, make sure the scrape the corners and sides to get all the flour mixed
I take my fork and squish it towards the bottom of the pan as well to get all the ingredients incorporated
Wait until the cake is completely cooled before frosting it
