Dear Sweet Baker,
Have You Ever baked a cake that rose beautifully in the oven but suddenly sank in the middle?

Here are 5 common mistakes bakers make:
1) Opening the oven too early.
2) Using too much baking powder or baking soda.
3) Removing the cake from the oven before it is fully baked.
4) Excess liquids ( water/ oil / juice/ milk) in the batter.
5) Using a wrong pan size...If the pan is too small, the batter may overflow or collapse during baking
6) If the oven temperature is too low or too high, the cake may rise unevenly and sink in the middle.
7) Overmixing develops too much gluten, which can weaken the cake structure and cause sinking.

Baking is a science, and small mistakes can affect the final result.
Pay attention to these tips and your cakes will come out perfectly every time.
