Baking is a dry cooking method that circulates hot air around the wet batter. Over-cooking, high temperatures, and mismeasuring ingredients can often result in cakes drying out in the oven. Adding steam to the arid oven heat will effectively safeguard against these mistakes.

To create steam in the oven, you'll need to make a water bath for your cake.

One way to do this is by placing the cake tin with the batter in it directly into the water bath.
