I'm assuming you have used this brand before with good results. 

First, check the expiration date on the box.  Were the 2 mixes from the same lot?  It could be a bad batch from the manufacturer.  

OR 

Go back a check every detail from your additional ingredients to your oven temp.

Thanks Deah,  yes I have used it before it's Duncan H, which is usually pretty reliable.  I will have to bake again to see if it happens again...............i am tired though lol.

I make sure I always beat it for 30 seconds on low and then up the speed to medium and go another 2 minutes.  If you don't beat it long enough it doesn't rise as well.

Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature.
