I wonder if your butter and eggs were at room temperature. That can really help with rise!

I think it might be your baking powder or baking soda. Have you checked if they are still fresh?

Oh no, that's a baking bummer! Don't worry, we'll fix it! Check your baking powder and soda—they might be past their prime! Also, make sure your oven's hot enough and your batter's not overmixed. Sometimes it's just a little tweak needed for that perfect rise!

Several factors could prevent a butter cake from rising properly, including outdated leavening agents, overmixing the batter, improper oven temperature, or using the wrong type or amount of flour.
