Cold butter or margarine unfortunately tends to stick to the dough hook of a hand mixer; to prevent this from happening, there is a simple tip.
Household tips to keep dough from sticking to the dough hook
Hot water for the dough hook
Put the dough hook in hot water beforehand; afterward you can mix the cake batter without it sticking.
Oil for the dough hook
Brush the dough hook with a neutral oil (e.g. vegetable oils); this way, not as much dough will stick to the dough hook.
