Whenever your cake doesn't bake flat try this out.

If you press the cake down it will be more dense just keep that in mind because if you want a light and airy cake you should just level it

Or use a wet cake strip. Put it around the pan before placing it in the oven.

i just tried it and it worked! now i don't have to waste any cake. thank you!!

Pl don't strangle the cake... The extra top which u get after slicing the cake also lets u taste the cake before serving it to others

I just learned about cake strips; you should, too.

What makes it swollen at the top? Could it be that the heat from the oven is too much?

Thank you for the tip. I am a beginner, l am struggling to bake a cake with a flat top.

Pov : you just shave it off and eat it with left over icing :

Not everyone has wet strips my dear so thts good advice tho ,you dnt need to press too hard jst slightly angel !!🙏❤️thnk you fr this cake hack a person learn everyday I'm telling you !!

Or you can use wet cake stripes if you don’t have that. Put wet news paper and wrap it in tin foil and wrap it around the tin

I agree! I’ve never had to cut off a dome. I can’t believe professional bakers suggest this! Thank You for putting some COMMON in Sense!

I just flip the cake, when cooled, it's flat

I seen this right after I finished frosting my cake.. 😭

I can smell it from the screennnn🌸~~~~~~~~

Should I do it cold or hot

Pressing it will create gummy, thick cake on top. Just get a cake band/cake strip, wet it, wrap it around the sides and bake as usual. Flat tops every time.
