WHY CAKE SINKS IN THE MIDDLE

Baking is love made visible, but sometimes issues arise that makes you angry.

Here are some of the REASONS your cake sinks:
• Opening the oven door too early
• Closing the oven door too sharply
• Preheating
• Incorrect oven temperature
• Wrong measurement of ingredients
• Too much baking powder or baking soda
• Expired or non active baking powder
• Incorrect moisture levels
• Overbeating the batter in the last stage
• Batter sitting too long before baking
• Under baking the cake
• Incorrect pan size

SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS ABOVE
• Avoid opening the oven door until the cake is 85% done
• Be gentle when you close the oven door.
• Check your oven with a heat-proof oven thermometer.
• Bake with the correct oven temperature.
• Measure your ingredients carefully with a scale.
• Do not use excess baking powder uor baking soda, so that it will not rise at a point and sink
• Make sure your baking powder is still active and has not expired
• Make to use accurate wet ingredients for a particular recipe.
• When it’s time to combine the wet and dry ingredients, fold the batter until it’s just mixed, don’t over beat it.
• If your oven it small and cant contain your cakes, bake batch by batch, don’t allow batter to sit.
• Be sure your cake is baked by using a skewer or toothpick to check if it’s ready, if the skewer comes out neat then your cake is done.
