Thank you for this information. For years, I thought that having your eggs at room temperature would prevent the gumminess from appearing in a cake. I’m baking a cake for folks I’ve never prepared a cake for and I’m anxious about how it will turn out. I’m also baking a type of cake I’ve never baked before; so, I’m even more anxious. Having read your post about not over creaming has brought back some of my confidence. Thank you.
