Bubbles on the surfaces of cakes

Nicola Cousins's picture

Asked on 10 May 2018 by Nicola Cousins

My tray bakes taste good but the tops always bubble and I don't know why. I have to take a thin slice off before icing them.

Hello,

It can be caused by…

The oven running too low or not sufficiently pre-heated.
Over whisking.
Leaving it the mixture too long before the cake is baked
Some people like to tap the cake tin in a flat surface before baking but I would prefer to have the bubbles!

Best wishes

Lindsey
