My Cakes Aren't Rising

RE: My Cakes Aren't Rising By Linne Dodds (Guest Post) I think it's the Miracle Whip .They Did change it .We Used to Love it until they took that Tangy Zip which was it's trademark out of it & made it taste just like Mayo . I complained to Kraft . They said I'd get a refund. I got coupons for 2 jars of Miracle Whip which I think I left at a store in case somebody else still likes it . I also complained at Planetfeedback.com which is a good place to get things like that done & found others shared our complaints & unsatisfactory results.

I have no idea if it would make a difference or not,but are you using the fat free kind perhaps?

I have checked the date on the baking soda, and thats not it. next, I'm going to buy a new bag of flour and try that. I had just purchased the flour that I used, but do not have the bag to check the date. so hopefully that will be the answer. to mkymlp who requested the recipe... 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup cocoa 1/4 tsp salt 1 cup water 2 tsp soda 2 cups flour 1 cup Miracle whip 1 tsp vanilla Mix well and bake for 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees this cake is very moist and delicious, even when it doesn't raise properly.

Or it might have to do with altitude. If you've done your baking on a cloudy day or when really foggy, this would do it. Hope you have better luck next time. However the flatter cakes are still eatable. Crumble them up with some ice cream & ice cream toppings drizzled over the top or fresh strawberrys cut up over the top--Yummy!!

Now I will have to bake one!!!!! Posted on 06/05/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: My Cakes Aren't Rising By (Guest Post) check your baking soda and baking powder...they may be old and thus the reason it isnt working. Posted on 06/05/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: My Cakes Aren't Rising By Juana Cookie (5) Contact I agree with Rebekah, it could be that your soda or powder is way past date. Another thing could be that your oven isn't running hot enough. You can check this by getting a cheap oven thermometer and hanging it inside your oven, instead of going by what the controls say. Good luck!

Without knowing the ingredients it's kinda hard to troubleshoot but that's my first guess! Good luck. I hope you figure it out! :) Rebekah Posted on 06/04/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse
