why does this happen? Every time i make a cake they never seem to rise. They almost always come out no higher then 4cm, that is just ridiculous

Two problems prob.One the oven not hot enough before putting cake inAlways heat the over 20 to 30 degrees hotter than it says then turn it to the stated temp when you put the cake in ( the oven losses heat when you open the door to put the cake in) The baking powder these days is not as strong as it used to beso double that. I always double mine and the results are back to what they used to be. Also use aslightly smaller tim with a higher mix so it will be a higher cake

also give your baking powder a good shake up each time you use it .
