I baked some cake batter in a soup can this past weekend. I filled it up only half way, yet the when I looked abt 20 mins. later, the cake had risen too much and had come put of the can all lopsided. What did I do wrong. The cake was done and came out of the can easily though, but it had a bend and looked like an elbow. What did I do wrong? |

I haven't had much luck baking cakes in soup cans, the tuna cans work perfectly though. I'd say it's because it's too high and narrow though. Just my opinion, based on having tried it and gotten the same results as you. |

I have baked in soup cans for castle towers and it worked fine...I just cut off the excess from the top of the soup can when it was cool....and then popped the cake out |

Try putting a collar around it. This way when the cake rises there is some sort of support. |

I baked cake in soup cans recently and just did as KHalstead say's. The only problem was that the choc. cake was so moist it wanted to crumble.
