Ugh, why isn’t my lemon cake coming out fluffy?

[ReeseTaki]

Oh dear baking experts! I'm on a quest to bake the fluffiest lemon cake, but it's just not happening. It always ends up denser than I'd like. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong or have any fluffy-making secrets to share? Grateful for any advice!

For super fluffy pancakes, make sure not to overmix the batter and let it rest for a few minutes before cooking. Also, try adding a bit of baking powder or separating and whipping the egg whites before folding them in.

Have you tried separating the egg whites and whipping them before folding into the batter? That might help with fluffiness

Great tips, thank you! I’ll definitely try letting the batter rest and whipping the egg whites next time. Can't wait to see how fluffy they turn out!

Check your leavening agents! Fresh baking powder and baking soda are crucial for a fluffy cake. If they're old, they might not work properly.

Hey there! It might help to beat the butter and sugar longer for a lighter texture. Happy baking!

Your lemon cake might not be fluffy due to overmixing the batter, which can lead to gluten development and a denser texture .
