We just love lemon cakes, cheesecakes, muffins, cupcakes and cookies around here. Since I often provide a treat for the weekly Sapello Women's Art League that meets at my sister's place, I thought this might be just the right thing for them. As always, I followed the recipe exactly. What a disappointment it was to open the oven door after 50 minutes to find the cake had risen and browned as expected, but had already collapsed as well. What types of problems will typically collapse a cake before it's even out of the oven?
