A Guide to Avoid Falling Cakes

A Guide to Avoid Falling Cakes

50th Anniversasry Cake

** This post also contains affiliate links, and I will be compensated if you purchase a product after clicking on a link at no extra cost to you. Thank you!


Enjoy my “A Guide to Avoid Falling Cakesfor delicious moist delicious cakes every time!

Discover the secrets to creating a perfectly moist and fluffy cake – from avoiding dreaded cake falls to mastering the perfect recipe, let’s get started!

Making a moist and fluffy cake doesn’t have to be difficult. With the right steps, including avoiding common cake-making mistakes, finding the perfect cake recipe, and measuring ingredients carefully, you can take the stress out of baking the perfect cake.

1. Choose the Right Cake Batter.

Chose the Correct Cake Batter to Avoid Falling Cakes

When baking a cake, it is important to choose the right type of batter. There are three common types of batters used in cakes – Pound cake, butter cake, and sponge cake.

Each has its own unique characteristics making them suitable for several types of cakes. Pound cake has a dense crumb and is great for heavier fruit-laden cakes. While sponge is great for creating light and fluffy angel food or chiffon cakes.

Meanwhile, Butter cake is often used in more traditional layer cakes due to its creamy texture. Butter cake can hold up to bold flavors.

So, no matter which type of cake batter you choose, it is important to ensure that your cake has enough moisture. Adding a few tablespoons of milk, oil or melted butter can help keep your cake moist during the baking process.

Additionally, pay attention to the ingredient temperature when making your batter and remember to add your wet ingredients first.

Finally, be sure to bake just until your cake is set (the internal temperature should reach 200F-210F). Overcooking can dry out the cake.


2. Use a Properly Greased and Floured Cake Pan.

Use Wilton Cake Pans to Avoid Falling Cakes

It’s essential to properly grease and flour your cake pans so it doesn’t stick to the sides of the pan. And so, they won’t come out too dry.

Grease the bottom and sides of the pan with butter or cooking spray and make sure it’s evenly coated. Then add enough flour to the surface of the pan. Turning and tapping it so that the entire surface is lightly dusted with flour.

Shake out any excess flour before you pour in your cake batter. This will ensure an evenly cooked, moist, and delicious cake every time!

If you’ve greased and floured your cake pan properly, your cake should slide right out once cooled. You can also make sure to do the toothpick test by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, it’s done. This will help you to make sure it’s cooked through before taking it out of the oven.

Note: If you use cooking spray with flour, you do not need to add any flour! This is so much easier; one step and you are done.


3. Avoid Overbeating the Mixture.

Avoid Over Mixing the Ingredients to Avoid Falling Cakes

Overbeating the mixture can shrink and make your cake dense. Beat the mix until it’s just blended. Overmixing causes th cake to become tough, dry, and rubbery.

Once you’ve added your wet and dry ingredients together use a spatula to gently fold the batter over itself. This also helps combine all the ingredients better without making them tough or tough-textured.

It’s important to remember that all recipes require different beating times. Cakes that use baking powder as the raising agent do not need as much beating. Cakes that use self-rising flour tend to need more mixing.

It can be difficult to judge when the mix is correct, so keep an eye on consistency. If your cake batter starts to look ‘curly’ or has a consistency of play dough, then it’s been overbeaten. Your cake will crumble when removed from the tin.

To avoid this, don’t overwork or overmix the cake batter. Check your oven temperature is preheated correctly so that your cake bakes evenly. That way you should ensure your cake comes out with a moist texture each time.


4. Preheat Your Oven and Monitor It Closely.

Preheat Oven to Avoid Falling Cakes

Preheat your oven so that it is at the right temperature before you start baking. Be sure to check the inside of your cake every 10 minutes and take note of how it is browning.

Letting cakes bake further than necessary will result in a dense and dry texture, while underbaking a cake can contribute to a fallen or sunken center. Using an oven thermometer helps ensure that the heat is calibrated correctly for perfectly baked cakes!

Additionally, prevent cake falls by ensuring the pans you use are not too large or deep. According to Delish.com, a cake pan should be no more than two inches deeper than the batter it houses; this will also help your cakes retain their moisture as baking times for deeper pans could differ from what is recommended for flatter surfaces.

It’s also important Your make sure your cake is cooked evenly so that there are no moist spots along the sides or top. Take your cakes out of the oven when they become golden brown and the center of the cake springs back after you push down on it lightly with your finger.


5. Don’t Open the Oven Door Too Early or Too Often.

Do Not Open the Oven to Avoid Falling Cakes

Opening the oven door at the wrong time can cause your cake to fall in the center. Or worse – to collapse! To avoid this, try to keep oven door checks and opening to a minimum.

Waiting until 10 minutes before you expect the cake to be done is best. Opening the oven too often will cause your cake’s temperature to drop and could prevent it from rising properly.

When checking on the progress of your cake, keep in mind that it will continue to bake after you take it out the oven.

Insert a pronged skewer or toothpick into the center of the cake. This is an easier way to resourcefully determine when your cake is either done, or nearly done baking.

Inserting the skewer or toothpick halfway down should come out clean. This means that there should be few crumbs and no visible wet batter clinging to it.

If there is wet batter and/or uncooked crumbs present, then put the cake back in for about 5 more minutes. Then check again.

My #1 baking pan I prefer to use is the basic 9-inch round cake pan. Everyone needs a round cake pan. Baking cakes in a round cake pan is so much easier than in a square, rectangular, or other shaped pan.

The most common size for this type of pan is 9-inches in diameter. However, there is a size for everybody.

A larger, 14-inch round cake pan is an excellent choice for a standard layered birthday cake, and smaller 6-inch round pans are great for cupcakes and mini-cakes.

Remember that round cake pans are not just for making cakes. They also work well with other baked desserts like cheesecakes and other desserts.

How to Make a Cake: A Step-by-Step Guide 

Wedding Cake

How to Make a Cake: A Step-by-Step Guide I will show you how to make a cake from scratch. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is!

While baking cakes is usually easier than cooking, sometimes things can get quite tricky. Therefore, you need to know the basics of cake baking. That’s where How to Make a Cake: A Step-by-Step Guide comes in.

It doesn’t matter if you are new to baking or have been baking for years, this guide will help you.


Making any cake is not rocket science. However, it is always good to follow the basic rules. By following these 12 simple steps, you will be able to create a beautiful and tasty cake every time. This guide will teach you how to make a cake.

Before you get started, you will need to decide on the cake recipe you would like. Now that you have your recipe, follow the steps below for a delicious moist made from scratch cake.


Step 1: Get Your Kitchen Aid Mixer Ready or Your Mixer of Choice

KitchenAid is part of How to Make a Cake: A Step-by-Step Guide

Get your mixer plugged in, your bowl set on your mixer, and your edge beater (flat paddle if you have a Kitchen Aid) ready to attach to your mixer. Doing this will save you some much-needed time.


Step 2: Prepare Your Baking Pans

Cake Pans are part of How to Make a Cake: A Step-by-Step Guide

This is a particularly crucial step to take before you pour the batter into the cake pans. Because you do not want your cake layers to stick. I love to use Pam Baking Spray or Bakers Joy Spray. These sprays already have the oil and flour mixed making greasing and flouring your pans a breeze. One step and you’re done.

You can use two 9-inch pans, two 8-inch pans, or a 13x9x2 inch pan. The choice is yours. The recipe may specify which size pan to use as well. I use non-stick pans, but still, use the spray for assurance my cake layers will not stick and slide out of the pans with ease.


Step 3: Gather Your Ingredients

Gathering Your Ingredients another part of How to Make a Cake: A Step-by-Step Guide

Now that you have all the ingredients for your recipe, allow them to reach room temperature. This usually only takes about 15-20 minutes.

Doing this will allow for butter to mix up easier (you just want the butter to be soft) and allow the eggs to yield a higher cake volume.

For food safety reasons, be sure not to leave the eggs out for no longer than about 20 minutes.


Step 4: Pre-Heat the Oven

Preheated Oven is a crucial part of How to Make a Cake: A Step-by-Step Guide

Pre-heat your oven while mixing up your cake. For most cakes it is 350 degrees F. But there again, go by what the recipe says.

You don’t want to put your cake into a cold oven, and it must sit there while the oven heats up. This can cause your cake to be dry and not as moist and can decrease the thickness of the layers.

This can cause the layers not to rise as high.


Step 5: Follow the Recipe Step by Step

Follow the Recipe Step-By-Step Recipe is another part of How to Make a Cake: A Step-by-Step Guide

Make sure you follow the recipe exactly in order. Don’t try to skip ahead with steps to get it mixed up faster. If you do, you are going to be messing up big time!

For example, if you are adding your eggs and the recipe wants you to add them one at a time and mix well before you add another one, you add them one at a time.


Step 6: Mixing the Dry Ingredients

Mix Dry Ingredients is another one of my How to Make a Cake: A Step-by-Step Guide

Mix the dry ingredients first, i.e.: flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, whatever the recipe calls for. You can mix these together in your mixing bowl using a wire whisk.


Step 7: Cream Together Sugar and Butter or Sugar and Shortening

Cream Butter, Sugar, And Shortening

Now you will want cream together either the sugar and butter or sugar and shortening depending on what your recipe calls for.

Make sure that your butter is at room temperature. This will take about 15-20 minutes. You just want the butter soft enough to mix it smoothly with the sugar.

Beat on medium to high speed for about 30 seconds to get a smooth creamy texture. This is the secret to light and fluffy cakes.


Step 8: Let’s Add the Eggs

Adding The Eggs

Typically, you add the eggs one at a time mixing well before adding another one. Doing this causes the cake to maintain its structure better. And again, go by the recipe.

Not all recipes require the eggs to be added one at a time.


Step 9: Combining Dry and Wet Ingredients

Combing Wet and Dry Ingredients

When it comes to dry and wet ingredients, typically you alternate between the two. You will add a little of the dry mixture followed by the wet (milk, juice) and mix.

You alternate like this until they both are added and incorporated into the batter. Make sure you start with the flour and end with the flour. Mix well, but do not over mix.


Step 10: Pour Batter into Prepared Cake Pans

Pour Batter Into Pans

Pour the cake batter evenly into prepared cake pans using a silicone spatula and bake at temperature according to the recipe.

Most of the time it is 30-40 minutes. Start out with the lowest time first, you can always increase the time if needed.

You can check the doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. When the toothpick comes out clean, they are done.

If there is any wetness on the toothpick, cook in increments of 5 minutes until done. This will keep you from overcooking the cake and drying it out.


Step 11: Cool the Cake Layers Before Frosting

Cool the Cakes

Place cakes on a cooling rack(s) for 5 minutes, and then turn them out on cake rack(s) to finish cooling. (About 60 minutes).

To loosen the cakes from the side of the pan you bump the cake pan on the sides or run a knife around the edges. If you have a non-stick pan, use a plastic knife so you won’t damage the pans.

Always frost or ice a cool cake! You don’t want your frosting to melt and run off the cake!


Step 12: Frost a Cool Cake

Frost A Cool Cake

Now comes the fun part! Make frosting or icing of your choice and frost the cake. Start by placing the top layer face down on your cake plate where the smoother side is facing up.

Then you can place the cake plate on a rotating cake stand for easy frosting and decorating. Next, you want to put about 1/2 cup of the frosting on the first layer, then place the second layer with a smooth layer down (you are putting the smooth bottoms together).

Next, you want to put a thin layer of frosting on the top and sides of the cake. Don’t worry about how this looks right now.

This is called a “crumb coat.” Then place the cake in your fridge or freezer for about 20-30 minutes. This will seal the crumbs in, so the crumbs won’t get all in the frosting as you finish frosting the cake.

After the 30 minutes is up, finish frosting the cake. Start with a generous amount on top of the cake working down the sides all around the cake using an offset spatula. You can use circular motions to make a lovely design as you are going around the cake.

If you like you can add sprinkles to the top of your cake for decoration or whatever you like. You can also just leave it like it is with the beautiful swirls.

Store your beautiful cake on a cake plate.

10 Tips-How to Survive the Holidays

Family Gathering for the Holidays

Do you have trouble keeping up with the demands of the holidays? Learn how to keep yourself sane with my 10 Tips-How to Survive the Holidays.

It’s important not to let overwhelm seep in and keep you from enjoying the many gifts and blessings we receive during this time of year.

I love this time of the year even though it can get Harry Caray, so grab a cup of coffee or your favorite beverage and let me help you ease through the holidays with my 10 Tips-How to Survive the Holidays.


10 Tips-How to Survive the Holidays


1. Make a List and Check it Twice

Part of 10 Tips-How to Survive the Holidays is to Make a List

If you do not have a list already made up, it is time to get started! This is crucial during the holidays. The last thing you need to be thinking about is if you have everything you need for your big night.


2. Prioritize with my 10 Tips-How to Survive the Holidays

Family Time is another of my 10 Tips-How to Survive the Holidays

Spend time with those who matter most to you. Family and friends. Make sure you do not overwhelm yourself trying to fulfil everyone else’s expectations of you.


3. Simplify with my 10 Tips-How to Survive the Holidays

Simplify is another of my 10 Tips-How to Survive the Holidays

There is no need to arrive at every party or gathering with a plate of cookies to eat, or a dish to pass around. Arrive with a smile and be present with those who cross your path. If you don’t like to cook, go with a store-bought dish instead of making something from scratch.


4. Plan Your Menu with my 10 Tips-How to Survive the Holidays

Holiday Meal Planning is one of my 10 Tips-How to Survive the Holidays

Planning your menu ahead of time can save you a lot of time and heartache. Don’t wait until the day before or the day of to try and figure out what you want to cook and serve. Do this at least a week in advance, I promise you will be glad that you did! A big-time saver!


5. Preparing Ahead of Time

Preparing Veggies is one of my favorite of 10 Tips-How to Survive the Holidays

If you are like me and love to bake from scratch, make food ahead of time that you can freeze or just pop in the oven the next day. Doing simple things like chopping vegetables up, chopping up nuts, etc. the day before will save you valuable time.


6. Ask for Help

Asking for Help is another good tip of 10 Tips-How to Survive the Holidays

This is one of the hardest things for me to do! I know, right? There is no shame in asking for help! I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, so I can’t do the things I used to do and that has been hard for me. Thankfully, my youngest daughter has taken over a lot of the cooking I use to do for the holidays. Now, don’t get me wrong, I still bake my cakes and cookies, because I am not willing to give that up yet! Lol! Oh, and my hubby cleans up my messes. Bless his heart!


7. Just Breathe

Take a Deep Breath

Yes, breathe and try to get in a little exercise. I know, I know. Who has the time? You are saying to me as you are reading this. It doesn’t have to be a lengthy process, just do some stretching, breathing exercises, etc. The reason for this is when we get stressed out or anxious, we tend to hold our breath or breathe very shallowly.


8. Laughing is the Best Medicine

Laughing with Family is Good Medicine

Yep, you read this one right. Laughing reduces your stress levels, soothes tension, helps you breathe deeper, improves your immune system, improves your mood, relieves pain, plus more! Who would ever think laughing could do so much good? 🤔


9. Be Grateful

Gratitude is my favorite of the 10 Tips-How to Survive the Holidays

Stop and think about all the things you should be grateful for. Be thankful to God for your good health, your family, and your friends. Not to mention all the things that you should be grateful for throughout the year. Try writing down 6-8 things you are grateful for in your life. Try it, you will be surprised how much better you will feel.


10. Spend Some Time Relaxing

Relaxing Back Massage

Yessss, honey, be good to yourself. All the cooking and cleaning, hosting, etc. It’s time to do something good and kind just for YOU! Put it on your list to get a gift card for a massage if someone asked what you would like for Christmas. You can always put that little bug in your hubby’s ear. 😉


Conclusion to 10 Tips-How to Survive the Holidays

We all know it! Christmas time is a stressful time for a lot of us. It’s a time of the year that drains us of our energy and motivation. It’s a time when we feel the need to prove ourselves as great wives, moms, daughters, or whatnot.

So, it is especially important that you be good to yourself and others during this time of stress. Make sure to take time for yourself to decompress to keep from getting too stressed out.

Please don’t be afraid or ashamed to ask for help if things are getting to be too much for you. It’s ok to ask for help and your family will be glad to pitch in, I promise!

These days we “All” need to find ways to save money and time. With the prices of groceries, gas, and everything else skyrocketing, we need ways to save our money and get more bang for our buck. And ways to save our time.

So, I have put together a list of things that I use to save money and time. Some of these will inspire you to save money too.

Are you ready to get started? Let’s get to it…


10 Ways to Save Money and Time


1. Shop sales always

Grocery Sale is a great part of  10 Ways to Save Money and Time

 You never know when there are going to be mega sales at your favorite store until you check out their site on a regular basis.


2. Do not buy things at full price

Shop Big Sales is another awesome way 10 Ways to Save Money and Time

 If there is something you are thinking of purchasing, wait for it to go on sale before you buy it. This includes clothing, shoes, accessories, furniture, appliances, and even food.  I always wait for sale times before I make my purchases-I save tons of money this way.


3. Always look for coupons online

Clip Coupons is part of the 10 Ways to Save Money and Time

If you are looking for coupons online, do not limit yourself to the sites that offer the coupons that you want. There are many other sites that can provide you with great coupons that can save you money on things that you were planning to buy anyway.


4. Create a meal plan for the week

Creating a Meal Plan for the Week is another great tip from 10 Ways to Save Money and Time

Do this before you do your shopping. My goodness, you have no idea how much time this will save you! Get your meal planner here.


5. Make a detailed grocery list from your meal plan

Making a Detailed Grocery List is an awesome tip from  10 Ways to Save Money and Time

This way when you get to the grocery store you want to try to figure out what you need for the week. Such a big-time saver and this will help you to save money because you don’t want to be buying unnecessary items you really didn’t need. Get your grocery list here.


6. Make Freezer Meals

Another Time Saver are Freezer Meals from 10 Ways to Save Money and Time

Make freezer meals ahead of time. This is a big-time saver especially if you are a busy mom taking kids to and from school, taking them to play sports, to practice, etc. You just set the frozen meal out for 20-30 minutes and pop it in the oven to cook for the time your recipe specifies.


7. Shop the perimeter of the store first

Fruits And Veggies

 Fruit, Vegetables, Dairy, Frozen Foods, and Meat sections, as these sections have fewer processed foods, preservatives, and more natural ingredients.


8. Shop only once a week

Weekly Savings

 On the same day, each week. By shopping regularly, you will have a feel for how much you need to buy that week and you will also see how prices change on a weekly basis, which is helpful when you are watching your spending.


9. Buy in bulk using my 10 Ways to Save Money and Time

Lady Buying Toilet Paper

When it makes sense or buy generic when possible. My husband and I share vegetables, soups, bread, toilet paper, paper towels, etc. when we buy in bulk with family members which helps us all save money. And they do the same for us.


10. Use a mix for part of the recipe

Onions And Garlic

Oftentimes a mix will be cheaper than buying all the ingredients separately. While you can use a mix for half of a recipe, adjust the other ingredients accordingly. You can also substitute alternative ingredients for the featured ones. If a recipe calls for onions or garlic that are out of season, or if you just don’t have any on hand, try using shallots or garlic powder instead.


Conclusion of 10 Ways to Save Money and Time

There you have it. I hope you enjoyed 10 Ways to Save Money and Time as much as I enjoyed sharing this with you. This will help you as much as it has me.

I would love to know if you tried this and how much it helped you. Do you have anything to contribute to my 10 ways to save money and time? If you do, please share below.
