Sometimes it can be down to oven temp! Your oven might be running hotter than you think and then the edges of the cake bakes faster causing the middle to dome. Try turning the the temperature down a little and see if that helps. Or sometimes it can happen if you overfill the cake tins!
I love this Benji! It couldn’t have come at a better time as my twins turn 6 next week and I always make one of your cakes now 🥰 Your earl gray traybake is perfect for bday cakes as you say. Last year I did your raspberry yogurt honey cake from a good day to bake but skipped the honey and added white chocolate buttercream to cover (plus some art decorations as they had an arts and crafts party). It was very popular
I love this so much! It’s not my birthday but may make it on Sunday for a sweet treat! Thank you from LA! 🫶🏾
Okay, I’m with your sis on the vanilla birthday cake! That cutting and sprinkling is perfection! 👌🏼✨💖
Belated happy birthday to you and your sister. Xx
This cake looks delicious; any advice about keeping it flat?
Whenever I make cakes, I seem to end up with a dome in the middle.

Thanks very much, Benjamina! I'll try baking at 325 instead of 350.

Aww Happy Birthday in advance to the twins! Ooh yes nearly forgot about the raspberry yoghurt one, very good choice!
Would this work as 2 x 8 inch rounds? Looks a beautiful sponge and my daughter’s birthday is 3 weeks away…
There's a lot of batter so I think it would work better in 3 x 8 inch rounds!
Great! Thanks so much for replying.
Please would you share which sprinkles you have used?? Yours are so cute!! Thanks
This is beautiful!
