Lemon drizzle cake

"One and a half, I assumed. Better still, juice of 2 lemons, and a bit more sugar (say 115g in total) will give you more topping. Now that I've got you using 2 lemons, you might as well put all their zest into the cake ! (I think someone else suggested that earlier). I'd still love to know why my cake collapsed in the centre (July 23) ????"

"Why did it collapse in the centre within two minutes of taking it out of the oven ? Maybe it didn't like being taken out for testing ? I followed the recipe, though I only had large eggs so used three instead of four, and tested it after 50 minutes with a skewer. It wasn't cooked so I gave it another 5 mins. Tried again, needed another 5 mins. Skewer was clean this time. The taste was excellent, but the appearance was such a disaster, I had to eat it all (well, most) myself before anyone else saw it ! I'll definately try again, but I really do need to know where I went wrong first. "
