 "M" Fault
Basically meaning, the middle of the cake has collapsed into itself making an "M" shape if you cut it in half.
This typically means it lacks structure, it can't hold itself up (not enough flour, not enough eggs, too short of mixing time, to name a few explinations). Try baking at a higher temperature, 325F sounds pretty low to me. Your ratios in your recipe seem fine to me but this is with out having my reference took with me.
Another thing you can try is to make another cake, something totally different, and see if you get the same results. If you do then your issues could be a result of faulty equipment. |
