The prompt

Help me figure out why my bake didn't turn out right, and how to fix it next time. What I made: [e.g. sponge cake, eggless cake, bread, cookies, brownies] Recipe: [paste ingredients with amounts and method] What went wrong: [e.g. sank in the middle, dense, dry, burnt bottom, didn't rise, spread too much] My setup: [oven type: OTG / convection microwave / gas oven; tin size; altitude if high] What I did differently, if anything: [substitutions, mixing time, oven temperature] Do this: 1. List the 3 most likely causes for my exact result, starting with the most likely, and explain each in one line. 2. Point out anything in my recipe or method that might cause it (ratios, leavening, oven temperature, opening the door). 3. Give a corrected version of the recipe or method with changes highlighted. 4. Tips specific to my oven type. If you need to know something to be sure, ask one question first.
