When baking, folding is a method used to incorporate more air into the mixtures. In order to fold, you need a spatula or a spoon. Carefully pour mixture A into mixture B a little at a time. Take the spatula, scrape the bottom of the bowl, and take mixture B and "fold" it over the other mixture. Do not simply stir, as that would dispel the air and make the cake heavy. Continue to scrape the bottom of the bowl and flop the mixture A over mixture B until well combined!
So basically, you are literally folding the mixture!

if the cake is very heavy or a little too heavy for your liking,fold the mixture and get as many air bubbles into your mixture as possible. Also be careful not to overmix the batter once the flour has been added. Fold it in lightly, and smoothly. When folding in the flour use a metal spoon!
How do you stop a large cake mix turning out rubbery when cooked?
The most important thing about baking a cake is getting plenty of air in it. You have to do this when you mix the eggs sugar and margarine. Mix for about 5 mins. to get the air in. The mixture should go a pailer colour and be light and fluffy. Then very carefully add the flour (which should be sifted at least twice, again to get air into it.). Fold the flour in with a metal spoon so as not to lose any of the air from the mixture, or use the slowest speed on the electric mixer. Remember if you are using plain flour add 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Make sure your oven is hot when you put the mixture in to bake. Hope this helps - good luck!!

It basically means to use a spatula or spoon and slowly mix the new ingredient into the mixture. It's very hard to explain this in words.
