Here are a few reasons as to why cakes peak in the oven.
| Reasons | Answers |
| Oven temp is too high. | Invest in an oven thermometer to ensure the correct temp is used. |
| Too much raising agent has been added to the mixture. | Use measuring spoons to ensure correct quantities. |
| Cakes placed too near the top of the oven. | Place cakes/bakes on the middle shelf for even baking. |
| Tin too small. | Ensure the tin is sufficient to hold all the batter and will rise properly. |
