Maybe the recipe calls for too much baking soda or baking powder and rose too fast. Would love to hear a response from the recipe's author since it seems a number of readers have had the same issue.

I went to cooking school,so I've baked my fair share of cakes (let's put it this way, I'm no amateur) and this cake was just awful. I hope it at least tastes good so I can cut it up into cubes and eat it out of a bowl with some fruit. stpattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260652646047927829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-34167664644433479022014-02-18T15:29:06.846-05:002014-02-18T15:29:06.846-05:00Has collapsed on me twice.Has collapsed on me twice.Koverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06201631354976124731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-76109160748124512892014-02-17T19:19:03.833-05:002014-02-17T19:19:03.833-05:00I made this recipe, it was too sweet even using 3/...I made this recipe, it was too sweet even using 3/4 cup of sugar.

The outside is nice and firm on the bottom of the cake (top of the cake in the bundt pan) but the sides are quite soft (the rest of the cake is cooked through, but maybe I should have left it in longer than 45 minutes?) -- that outer crust is what I was really looking forward to! Also, the cake fell about 30 minutes into cooking and is a bit deflated and sad-looking. I am making this in Denver at high elevation, which could have contributed to the problem. All ingredients I used are the same as in the recipe (I chose granulated sugar). While the lemon flavor is fresh and tasty, I feel there's quite a lot of it in competition with the olive oil. I think I would put less in next time.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12115931563077230868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-88502694344557904792013-05-05T10:26:12.235-04:002013-05-05T10:26:12.235-04:00My boyfriend is dairy-free, and we have such a har...My boyfriend is dairy-free, and we have such a hard time finding actually-delicious desserts for him to eat.

I also only had a 9x9 cake pan and the cake turned out more like a cakey bar vs cake. I should ahve taken it out of the oven at 30 mins as it did end up being a little dry. It's still really good, so I look forward to trying the recipe again with deviating and using the correct pan to see how it turns out!

The cake really takes on the flavor of the oil, so it all depends on your tastes. Some like using a regular olive oil over and extra virgin, because of the taste difference, but it really comes down to what you like. It is fun to experiment. <br />You can use entirely all purpose flour instead of almond flour. I just like the subtle taste difference the almond flours makes, but all purpose (or subbing almond for wheat flour) works just fine.
