Cakes can often become heavy and dense for some of the following reasons.
| Reasons | Solutions |
| This can occur if there is insufficient creaming. | Always whisk butter and sugar until it goes pale in colour. |
| Overbeating your batter/mixture | Mix little and often in quick bursts. |
| Out of date raising agent. | Check the date and the quantities used. |
| Folding in flour too quickly. | Lightly and softly fold the flour into the mix using a spoon. |
