thanks! may be I really dont measure baking powder and soda carefully! but dose this mean that you use this recipe under fondant and it hold well and the problem is from my measurements?

I've used the Hershey's cake multiple times and have not had a problem. My thought was that you had mentioned using multiple recipes and having the same problem with them all, so it most likely isn't the recipes, just some little quirk that needs adjusted. Good luck!
