The reverse-creaming method requires combining the butter with all the dry ingredients *before* mixing in the remaining ingredients – here’s why we use this method in our baking a lot to produce tender cakes, especially for layering.

Use reverse creaming method for recipes such as lemon layer cake, New York-Style Crumb Cake, or coffee cake.
