*Batter is over-mixed

*Burn caked, over-baked

Answer 2

When it comes to baking cakes it's all about capturing air into the mixture, and an even amount of ingredients to give a great flavour. Diving the flour and folding it into the mixture and using an electric mixer add air into the mixture and creams the butter to give a better flavour. So poor quality cakes have an un even ratio of ingredients, and they won't have had the right techniques to add air to the mixture. Also sunken cakes are due to lack of air, hot air rises, so by adding it to the mixture means the cake will rise more. Temperature is a key thing, if the temperature is too high it will toast the outside and the inside of the cake will be uncooked or soggy, so a lower temperature and longer time to cook allows the cake to cook though and for the air to rise making the perfect cake.
