In reply to Sofya. Absolute pleasure! I couldn't believe how much my oven temp varied in reality until I got an independent one to hang in there. Massive differences! So many variables too like how long I took preheating the oven, baking tins, how efficient your oven is at keeping the temp. But I actually would like mine to dome in the middle. I love that look! I think it is quite common when baking in loaf tins. My chocolate loaf and sticky ginger loaf on the blog do it and I would love my lemon drizzle to do it too! I have some foil ones so am going to try it! Thanks again for the feedback. So glad to hear from you.x

In reply to applytofaceblog. Hi Jenny, thank you very much for your reply! I think it may be the tin - I'm just using a cheap foil one. I also struggled with achieving the right temperature in the oven and ended up baking the cake for probably an hour to make sure it was all baked through. Totally worth it though!

In reply to Sofya. Hi Sofya, so glad you love how it tastes. The rising and cracking hasn't happened to me so I think it is probably the temperature of your oven at a guess. Do you have an independent oven thermometer? You can get them very cheaply. You can also try to tap the batter on the work surface in the cake tin to release air bubbles just before you bake it. It is happening because the sides get hotter and set their shape first before the middle. So it is usually heat related(temp too hot). So if your oven temp is not too hot then your loaf tin may be a little too thin. You could try a sturdier tin (thicker sides) or tying some baking paper around the outside to protect the walls. But I wouldn't worry too much about it. I love the look of them when they dome! Thank you so much for the feedback.

This cake tastes amazing, but I have a question. I've made it twice, and both times it didn't sink but instead bulged and cracked in the middle. Do you know what may be the reason and how to avoid it next time?
