Its really important not to open the oven too soon!. the disturbance could "break" the structure of the product and cause it to collapse!. If it is still wet in the center you just took it out too soon!. Ever see tunnels in the product while eating - long holes through the product-!? that is caused from over mixing!.!. doesnt really affect the taste, just the structure and apperance!. Just try experimenting!.!. baking is really a science, it takes very careful and methodical steps to produce a good product!. Hang in there, all bakers have had these issues!Www@FoodAQ@Com
It sounds like over mixing and underbaking!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I've nt cooked that so I cant explain!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
well, you have to play with the temp of your oven!. Maybe cook it a little higher than the book says!. Every cookbook has a "know your oven" section!. Esp if you have a gas oven you have to really figure out the temping of the recipes!. If you have an electric, raise it, but not by too much!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
they may not have been cooked for quite long evoughWww@FoodAQ@Com
I think either you use beater while mixing flour it causes these problems or may be your oven is not working properly!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
you may be opening the oven to soon!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
first dont over mix then u have to put the right amount of flour and try not to open the oven until after 20 mints so it dosnt fall and try to make sure the heat is enough and accuretWww@FoodAQ@Com
