    How weird, I haven't had mine fall on me yet. I'm sorry it happened to you! The top things I could think of is if the batter was either over-mixed or your oven temp is off. I wish I could give you some better advise - with baking there are too many small factors that could cause falling. Sorry!

    I thought this was really good. The nutmeg was a little strong for my taste, but I can just leave that out. Great job! Thanks for the recipe! - 2/26/09
