Oven
I usually go to my Grandma's house to bake my larger cakes. I have one of those ovens that is a lovely shade of avocado green (ancient) and it's electric. Her's is gas and some years newer too.
Mixer
When I go there I use a KA to mix up my mixes and at home I use a Sunbeam. I do everything else basically the same. The cakes I bake at her house always turn out better. Taller, more level, sturdier - hold together better. Larger or smaller they're just better. So what do you think is the reason for this? Mixer, oven, both, neither? Thanks in advance for your help!

My vote is oven.......... I had an old oven and my cakes had to be leveled everytime I baked. I got a new oven about 8 months ago and WOW what a difference! I have only had to level one cake and that was because I put too much batter in the pan.

I am sure the oven has something to do with it, but then again maybe the mier does too... the better you mix a batter the better it risees.. so I would say both..... This said I have not used a sunbeam, ,so I may be wrong
