Why did my cake fall?

Baking Powder Amounts

Believe it or not, too much baking powder makes baked goods fall. The bubbles get too big, float to the top of the product, and pop instead of staying in the protein/starch grid. The basic ratio is no more than 1-1/4 tsp. of baking powder per cup of flour.
