Margaret, we're sorry to hear that you had some trouble with this classic loaf recipe. We do recommend baking until your toothpick comes out clean, so it may simply be that your loaf required a bit longer in the oven to fully set. Other reasons a cake might fall like this include too little flour or too much liquid (even using extra large eggs can even make a difference), using the incorrect or too much leavener, and/or baking in an oven that is running a bit on the cool side. If we can help you troubleshoot more specifically, please give our free Baker's Hotline a call at 855-371-BAKE. Mollie@KAF
