Most new bakers will probably default to thinking that something went awry with their leavening. That could absolutely be the case! There are a couple of ways that your leavening could impact the final cake result.
Your Leavening Was Too Old:

You Used Too Much Leavening:
It seems counterintuitive, but too much leavening can actually cause your cake to fall. This is because the leavening activates too quickly during baking, which causes a turbocharged, too-fast carbon dioxide reaction.
