I made this and the cakes didn't rise. Any ideas to why?

Not sure what's happened there Cheryl. A few things I can think of would be, did you use the correct ingredients or use any alternatives? Be very gentle when folding in the dry ingredients. When baking don't open the oven door until almost finished. When you open the door to early it can knock all the air and rise from your sponges. I hope this helps🤞🏻
