How do you get fairy cakes to rise in the middle?
I’ve had a few foes at making fairy cakes and although they taste fine, they just stay flat at the top and won’t rise in the middle. The way I make them is to beat the sugar and butter(4oz each) first, then add 2 eggs, then mix in 4 oz of self raising flour with a bit of baking powder. I cook them around gas 7.
Why do my cakes not rise properly?
Using old or stale baking powder, or baking powder that has been improperly stored, can result in not enough rise, and flat dense cakes. As soon as the water is added to the baking powder the air bubbles are released, so leaving your batter to stand after mixing can also result in flatter, denser cakes.
