Why Did My Cake or Bread Fall

Why did my cake or bread fall?

So you take your cake or bread out of the oven and it looks great. It seemed to be done and browned nicely. But, as your cake is cooling, the center started to fall! What could have gone wrong?

You start thinking all sorts of excuses such as maybe the oven temperature was not right, maybe the kids were jumping and made the cake fall, maybe you didn’t mix the cake or bread properly or maybe you even forgot an ingredient.

In these situations it is usually one thing that you forgot to do.

Did you check the date on the Baking Soda or Baking Powder prior to using it in your recipe?

Baking Soda and Baking Powder are the ingredient that makes your cake or bread rise. If you have old outdated product, your cake or bread may fall. Baking Soda and Baking Powder are items you probably do not use all the time, but you probably have them on hand in your cupboard or pantry. Always check the date on the packages before adding it to your recipe. Hopefully that will prevent your baked goods from falling.
