How can I prevent my carrot cake from sinking in the middle?

Answer by  klypos (271)

Preheat the oven, cook at 10 degF lower than recommended in the recipe for 5 to 7 min longer than recommended. Don't open the door until the time is up.

usually sinking is due to being under cooked or opening the oven due before the cake is done, i would cook until done

The cake sinks in the middle and I thought maybe it was beating it too long and the eggs caused it torise too high and then sink. I even have tried room temp eggs. I have tried also when cake is done turning off the oven and leaving it open.
