I have been trying to make cake severally but mostly i ended up with a flat cake.... So disappointing
So finally i read somewhere that the reasons could be 👇
1. Too much liquid (milk) thus blocking the air bubbles that make cake airy
2.Not enough rising agent.
3.Over beating your cake batter once you've added your flour that contains the rising agent
Anyway i made a few amends. Including
1 Using a hand whisker instead of electric whisker. But one can still use an electric mixer as long as you don't overmix the cake batter
2.added baking soda to the recipe
