How can I make my cake more fluffy?

To make your cake more fluffy, there are a few things you can do. First, make sure you are using the right ingredients and amounts. Use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour, and make sure to use enough leavening agents such as baking powder or baking soda. You can also use a bit more butter or oil to make the cake more moist. Additionally, make sure to mix the batter just until everything is combined, and don’t over-mix. Finally, try beating the egg whites separately and folding them into the batter for added fluffiness.

How do you make a cake rise and fluffy?

To make a cake rise and become fluffy, you need to use baking powder, baking soda, or a combination of both. Baking powder and baking soda are both leavening agents, which produce carbon dioxide gas as they react with liquid ingredients, causing the cake to rise. Additionally, you should ensure that your ingredients are at room temperature and that you use a good quality fat like butter or oil to help the cake stay tender and moist. Be sure to whisk the ingredients together well to incorporate air and ensure that the cake rises evenly. Finally, when baking, you should use an oven temperature that is appropriate for the type of cake you are making.

Why is my cake dense and not fluffy?

It’s possible that your cake is dense because it was either overmixed, had too little liquid, or had too much baking powder or baking soda. To prevent this, make sure to mix your ingredients together just until they are combined and not overmix, use the correct amount of liquid, and use the correct ratio of baking powder/baking soda to flour. Additionally, if your oven is too hot or your cake has been overbaked, it can cause your cake to be dense. To avoid this, make sure to use an oven thermometer to ensure your oven is the correct temperature and check your cake for doneness after the suggested baking time.
