Help! What am I doing wrong? I’ve now made the Family cake three time and it looks lovely when it comes out of the oven (after testing) but it then sinks in the middle - ending up lower than it went in! All the rest is ok coming right up to the top of the tin. And it tastes so good that my family keep asking for it

Hello,
It sounds like it may be too much baking powder. It needs to be just a rounded teaspoon.
Other reasons could be…
Under baking
Oven opened too frequently
Oven running too high, so it looks cooked when it isn’t
Kind regards
Lindsey
Okey dokey. Will try again on Saturday. Many thanks.
