sorry for not replying sooner, my son has not been very well.

i made a lemon cake (receipe from my sister).....it turned out much better. icon_smile.gif

if i used a little more ingredients than the receipe suggests, would the cakes rise slightly more?......sorry, if this is a really silly question icon_redface.gif

It may just be the fact that there is more batter (the pan is more full) when you use extra flour, butter, milk, etc. Using more batter will produce a taller cake.

Glad this one turned out better for you.

Hi BakingNewbie,
Maybe it wasn't raising because the pans were too big for the amount of mixture, the pans I use for a basic sponge are maybe 8 inch across, when I use a 4 oz mixture it doesn't rise up as much as when I use a 6 oz mixture, so it could be that you need more mixture. I'd say you need the pan to be half full of raw mixture to get it to rise to the top of the pan.

hope this helps, post again if you need help! icon_smile.gif
