Generally speaking, and not specifying any particular recipe, why does my cake have a small dome on top, while the chef's recipe looks like this:

The dome on top looks like a mountain, with a good looking shape and shiny syrup glaze.

A local chef said that I should add a line of butter on top of the cake batter, so it will help explode in the middle and allow for even cooking.

But I still can't get the mountain shape.

My cake looks good but not as the original:

Is it an oven problem ?

  • Are you using the correct size loaf pan, as specified in the recipe? – moscafj May 20 '19 at 11:06
  • @moscafj no of course. Should I fill the pan to the 3/4 of it so it can go more up ? – alim1990 May 20 '19 at 11:19

    @alim1990 don't lose sight of the important variable of the pan that you are using to recreate a cake recipe. Size and shape are extremely important if you are looking to achieve the same results. – moscafj May 20 '19 at 18:47

    @Luciano : I'm wondering if there was something on the Great British Bake Off or similar that would make multiple people want to bake the same type of take – Joe May 20 '19 at 23:46
  • @Joe maybe, I haven't followed the show for a while. – Luciano May 21 '19 at 08:25
