What it concludes

Light-colored aluminum cake pans prevent uneven baking and overly crunchy edges compared to dark nonstick pans.
Alternating dry ingredients and buttermilk while starting and ending with dry ingredients prevents breaking the batter's emulsion.
Applying a thin crumb coat before chilling the cake ensures stray crumbs do not mar the final frosting layer.
