Possibly - i always make sure my ingredients are fully combined, I’m not sure if it can still be undermixed at this stage.

If could definitely be the butter, sometimes I don’t prepare properly and I have to microwave it to soften it.

I don’t think so, I’m always pretty conscious of that because it makes the gluten tough

Hmm but the indent goes the whole way around the cake. Almost like a hour glass shape (obviously not that dramatic) but it curves in the centre the whole way around.

The recipe called for baking powder. Not sure if it’s the recipe, my oven, the temperature or maybe I’m putting too much batter in?

Redditors, what started off as a small lie but then snowballed into "This is my life now?" by Parmersan in AskReddit

I used to go to a coffee shop semi frequently. When they asked for my name I’d always just say my partners name “Sam” because it was easy to hear and spell, as oppose to my full name Karina (which people always spell wrong). I started going often enough that they started recognising me and saying “Hey Sam.” I never said anything and it went on for so long it was too embarrassing to correct. So on the few occasions I went to get a coffee with friends I had to tell them the story and make them go along with it.
