Best Answer

let your cake 'stand' in the oven for about 20-30minutes after the timer is done. Dont take it out from oven as soon as the timer ends. A quick change of temperature affects the cake. another reason might be your cake is baked at the wrong temperature. double check recipes for the correct temperature.

Could be baked too long or too much sugar in the mix. Try lining the tin with baking paper and cover with a tea towel and allow to cool in the tin before turning out. Alternatively turn out and wrap in a tea towel to cool.

if it's dense then it means it has not risen. You need to use either self raising flour or baking powder and whisk thoroughly to get as much air as possible into the cake.

Cakes go stale because they are made with more miosture than the air so they release moisture, and go hard.
