I'm so say--I'm making a strawberry cake that will be turned into a dog for my niece's birthday and they all ended up like this. The recipe called for creaming the butter and sugar on medium speed first "until light and fluffy," then adding eggs at medium, then alternating flour and milk/puree. I thought I did all this--and I scraped frequently (or so I thought), but all the cakes are extremely dense. It's the whole cake too, not just a streak. What should I do if the recipe calls for mixing until light and fluffy? I used speed 4 on my stand mixer.
