My cake turn out to be dense and heavy after putting it into the fridge for several hours and I don't know what is the reason?
I thought I have overmix it but I have checked through the tips posting in internet and I don't think I overmix my cake here. The only thing that I can suspect here may be my batter is too thin to bake in the size of pan that I used.
I have cut down the portion of regular cake size to half. Instead of 2 cups of flour I cut everything down by half in order to make a thin layer of cake that I can make a layer cake later. My pan size is 7" round pan with 2" height, however the batter which I prepared is only manage to fill 1/3 of the pan height. It ideally turn out the height that I required when cooked. I left it cool for few hours before frosting and immediately put into the fridge after frosting. So I have not tried the cake until I took it out from the fridge. It is so dense and heavy? Why?

You should let your cake get to room temp before trying it. A cake straight out of the fridge will always seem dense and heavy. If I have a cake that needs to be kept in the fridge I always let it sit out for a bit before serving it.
