Any idea why my lemon cake won’t rise?

[Prel]

Baking buddies! I'm having a bit of trouble with my lemon cake – for some reason, it just won't rise. I've tried a few times but no luck. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be going wrong? I'm all ears for any tips or tricks you've got! Thanks!

The few reasons why lemon cake is not rising is the baking powder, make sure they're not expired. Fresh leavening agents are key for a good rise. Overmixing the batter can cause the cake to be dense. Try mixing just until the ingredients are combined.

Check your baking powder and make sure it's fresh! Also, avoid overmixing the batter to keep it light and fluffy!

Oh no, flat lemon cake! It might be your baking powder or baking soda—make sure they're fresh. Also, double-check your oven temp and don't overmix the batter. Happy baking!

Hey there! I agree, checking your baking powder or baking soda is key; they can lose their potency over time. Also, making sure your oven temperature is spot-on and not overmixing the batter can make a big difference
