Topic: Sunken honey banana loaf

Hi

I'm new to baking and loving it! Overall my endeavours have been successful, but I have a recipe for a banana honey loaf that just doesn't seem to work. It rises beautifully in the oven, but sinks as it cools, ending up inedible as all the sweet stuff seems to head to the bottom.

I've had no problem with straightforward banana bread so I'm assuming it's the honey addition that's causing the problem. Am I doing something wrong, or is there a secret I should know that will stop it sinking!?

Thanks!

Re: Sunken honey banana loaf

It sounds as though there may be too much liquid in this mix and the batter is too wet, causing the cake to sink once it has been baked. Perhaps you should slightly reduce the amount of liquids added. Also, try not to leave the batter to sit for too long before baking.

I hope that this helps.
Happy Baking!
