We love the Mandarin cake! However, the middle always sinks. Any suggestions?

This is a good recipe but I think 45 minutes was too long to bake, mine is pretty dark, but still tastes good. Thanks! -
I had two cans of mandarin oranges in my pantry and was wondering what to do with it! So I found this lovely recipe from Lizzie and it tastes fantastic. It's very sweet but it pleases the sweet side of me :-) !!! The cake is very moist and it is very easy to prepare. *_* -
This is a fabulous recipe! I got it years ago from a friend in Washington. It is a bit on the sweet side, but if you love SWEET, you'll find this fabulously moist and wonderful. It is more of a fall/winter recipe as opposed to the one from a cake mix with the cool whip, pineapple, instant pudding (also a 5*). Try it folks if you like moist/sweet!!

It’s in the oven now, used fresh mandarins so really hope it turns out ok! Smells great! -
Why does this recipe not ask for any liquid ingredients! Two eggs and two teaspoons of vanilla is not very much liquid. Why doesn't it ask for oil and milk or water? I made it but had to trash the whole cake.

DH and I love to travel. We barely get back from one trip before we’re planning the next one! Earlier this year we visited Australia and New Zealand and seriously thought about never coming home! We’re not sure where we’re headed next. Argentina is high on the list, But then again, so are Greece, South Africa, and Russia. So many places to experience, so little time—and money!
I read and craft in my down-time. You’ll never find me without a book tucked away in my bag or one of my pockets and I’ve always got some kind of craft project going on. DH is a tennis player so we spend a lot of time out on the courts. Well, he’s out on the courts; I’m on the sidelines guarding the beer!
