Your cakes may have not risen due to the following reasons.
| Reasons | Answers |
| Insufficient oven temperature. | Temperature is not hot enough when the cake is placed in the oven so this has caused the cake to bake insufficiently. Preheat the oven and ensure you use the correct temperature. |
| Overbeating your mixture. | You've gone ten rounds with your cake and knocked all the air out of it. In future, beat the mixture in small bursts just so that you have incorporated the ingredients. |
| Not adding enough air. | Sieve your flour and try to incorporate as much air as you can if using the creaming method. |
| Raising agents | Make sure you have used the correct quantities, or check to see if you added it to the mix. |
