Hi Sally, I'm sorry that this cake didn't rise to your expectations! There are three common reasons why your cake didn't rise as expected. Using a larger diameter cake pan will produce a thinner cake, using old, or inactive baking soda, or not mixing the ingredients sufficiently. If none of these reasons seems to be your situation, please contact our Baker's Hotline so we can get help you figure out what went wrong in your particular situation. Good luck!
