I am so sorry that happened but I’m happy you love the taste. There are at least three reasons I can think of for a cake falling.
First, too much moisture. Second, to little moisture. Third, too much leavening agent,
Since it fell before you took it out of the oven, it may be too much or too little moisture. And since it’s on the pasty side, I’m thinking it was too much.
What was the consistency of your batter? Do you live in a humid climate?
If your batter was a bit runny, just add flour a spoonful at a time until it gets the right thickness, If your batter was too dry, just add a spoonful of milk or water at a time until it’s the right consistency.
Please let me know if that helped, and thanks for your feedback.:heart_eyes:

So sorry that happened to you. Altitude, humidity, and even oven temperature can affect the final results. It sounds to me like there’s too much moisture. If you have the courage to try it again, an extra ¼-½ cup of flour might help.

I have tried making this cake twice now and, though the taste is exemplary, I have not been able to get it to bake thoroughly. The inside has come out extremely doughy on two different ovens despite a toothpick inserted in the center coming out clean. Lots of effort just to be disappointed

I haven’t tried it yet, but it should work fine. Just fill the muffin wells about 4/5 full. Bake at 325℉/163℃ in a preheated oven if you want flat-topped cupcakes and 350-375℉/177-190℃ if you want dome-topped cupcakes.

The baking time will depend on the size of your cupcakes. I would start checking them for doneness at around 25 minutes. Please let me know how it goes.
