My aunt in Milwaukee told me to always use room temperature eggs for cakes

I thought it was just an old wives' tale and kept using cold eggs straight from the fridge for years. My cakes were always a bit dense and never rose quite right. Last month, I finally tried her advice on a simple vanilla cake and the difference was huge, it was so much lighter and fluffier. Has anyone else found a simple tip like that that actually works?

Temperature affects the butter too, not just the eggs.

My dense cakes make sense now.

Wait, you weren't checking the butter temp?
