  • I think one of the worst things that can happen after baking a cake is when it sinks in the middle! But thankfully, understanding a bit more about the science behind baking can give you a little more insight into where you may be going wrong :)

    Thank you Love! I bake so many cakes but only my Tres laches cake sinks, not sure what is the reason. I already watched your video now I’m confused which was my mistake LOL. Is it my liquid ingredients didn’t mix properly or my oven temperature is not right. I never open the oven door while baking so I’m not sure 🤔

    • @CakesbyMK
      @CakesbyMK  Před rokem +1

      You're welcome! :) And yes it can be a bit of a struggle figuring out which mistake it could be! If your tres leches is a sponge cake then it could also be due to other reasons. Baking can be tricky!!

    Hi Maryam, thanks so much for sharing your expertise. Hope you can help, I found a recipe calls for 15 dates cup orange juice, no sugar, 1/3 cup oil, 160g spelt flour and
    1 tablespoon baking powder. All ingredients are fresh and measured accurately. Tried it twice abd each time it flattens after taking from oven, once ensured it rises and tooth pick is clean. Baking temp is 180c (355f) for 30-35min.
    What do you think the cause of failures?
    Do you think
    1 TBSP baking powder is too much?
    Should baking soda be used instead?
    Any other advices, greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks so much..

      @CakesbyMK  Před rokem

      Hi there! It really depends on the recipe, but it could be because the cakes are slightly overbaked too :) I would also recommend adding in a little more flavouring (e.g. vanilla) to help mask the eggy smell :)

    For the “opening the oven door too early” it works for pies as well. If you open the oven door too early, your pie will crack.
