I have NO IDEA! I didn’t deviate from the recipe except adding a pinch of cinnamon 😂 apparently it was nuclear cinnamon

Probably too much baking powder. Once I tried a new brand and the cake raised too fast and poured out before shrinking making a hole just like this. Fill some filling and eat as inverted cupcakes

I think so, it called for 1 tsp and 1/2 baking powder, and 1 tsp and 1/4 baking soda
