What can I do to bake a cake and have it not turn out crumbly??!


Question: I made this cake:

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Simple-Whit...

It's really good, but it turned out really dry and crumbly... I added 1/4 cup extra of milk... I'm up high where I live so do you think it had anything to do with the altitude??

If anyone knows what I should do to make it turn out moist and so it doesn't fall apart- please let me know! 10 points! whoo!

Add more oil, or an egg, but if you want it to be more moist, applesause works great. Substitute it for the oil.

Milk is not going to make your cake any more moist. You need to add more oil.

More liquid will not help. What you need is more binding agent. try adding an egg, or an additional egg.

you need oils, so add more oil/butter/shortning. it will keep the cake moist.

Adding milk might make the cake come out funky

applesauce works great

Um, yeah ... the altitude does have something to do with it. Weren't there "high altitude" instructions?

Anyway, I've heard that applesauce helps with moisture.

add pudding to the mix , altitude has lot to dew with temp that you cook at , eggs are a combiner /what makes it all crumb together < little pun,,, make it all come together and sugar is a browing agent good luck ,,have a wonderful day
