What does it mean if the cake rises high while baking?

If a cake rises high while baking, it usually indicates that the leavening agents (such as baking powder or baking soda) have reacted properly, resulting in the expansion of the cake batter and the formation of air pockets. This leads to a light and fluffy cake texture. However, excessive rising can sometimes cause a cake to become dry or fall after baking due to the loss of moisture. A well-balanced recipe and proper baking techniques are important to achieve an ideal rise and texture in cakes.
