Thanks, Daisy. I, too, have preserved your words of wisdom!!! The name of the cake is Jam Cake in Fanny Farmer. Ended up with a crevasse in the middle--both layers. So I simply split each layer, making four, and filled them with the same jam I used in the recipe and put some quasi-Portsmouth...

Thanks, folks. It took about 10 minutes longer to bake this cake than the recipe stated, so it may be that when I opened the oven door to, hopefully, take it out, that's what did the damage. (Oh, what a gift 'twould be to gi'e us, to have an oven with a window!!) My oven keeps perfect...

This may be dumb, but what causes cakes to fall? I just baked a jam cake and followed the Fanny Farmer recipe to the letter and all seemed fine--then when I took the cake out of the oven, the middle sank like the Titanic!!
