Cake did not rise enoigh in the middle.

Response from the Magimix team: Thank you for your feedback regarding the frosted carrot cake. We are sorry to hear that it did not rise as expected in the middle. Baking can indeed be quite precise, and several factors could influence the outcome. You might try ensuring that your baking powder or soda is fresh, as these ingredients can lose their effectiveness over time. Additionally, checking your oven temperature with an oven thermometer can help ensure even baking. We appreciate your input and are always here to help improve your baking experiences. Warm regards, The Magimix Team
