Oh, my goodness. I think I've had almost ever one of these. But, my most recent...For Easter, I was making both a cake and a recipe for a shortcake that wasn't like a biscuit. The cake, first: I baked it and it smelled so good! But, when I took them from the oven, they were about a 1/2 inch thick! They didn't rise. Okay, threw those out and started over. The second batch? The same. Hmmm...maybe this cake isn't supposed to rise? Well, I'll just go with it. For the shortcake, the same thing happened. At this point, I should have realized what my problem was. I was using Bakewell baking cream instead of baking powder!!! Ugh...Oh, well. It all tasted good. Just a little heavy!
