AOk so ive been baking for a while now but I still cant seem to understand y my cakes only rise upto 2 inches....what am I soing wrong? Im following the recipie to the dot. What can I do to make it rise to 3 or 4 inches??
A@ddaigle. I bake the whole cake and then cut n fill. Rather than making 2 seperate ones and filling. Still the cakes are only 2 inches high.
AA standard size cake pan is 2", so if your cakes are rising that high, that is correct. Most people make 2 of those to stack. Filling doesn't add all that much height.
If you only want to make one cake, you would need to get a 4" cake pan and put double the amount of batter that you put in the 2" pan.
AMost recipes are written to yield 2 2-inch high cakes (assuming your pans are 8-9 inches round), are you mixing up a standard batch, pouring it in a 3 or 4 inch high tin and it's not rising at all?
AMost of us bake two pans for each tier of cake. So put two layers from those two pans together, with filling in between, and there's your 4 inches. I collar my pans so they rise even higher, and once I've filled and iced and fondanted, mine are usually 5" tall, or a wee bit shorter.
