I baked some cake batter in a soup can this past weekend. I filled it up only half way, yet the when I looked abt 20 mins. later, the cake had risen too much and had come put of the can all lopsided. What did I do wrong. The cake was done and came out of the can easily though, but it had a bend and looked like an elbow. What did I do wrong?

I have baked in soup cans for castle towers and it worked fine...I just cut off the excess from the top of the soup can when it was cool....and then popped the cake out

Try putting a collar around it. This way when the cake rises there is some sort of support.
