I Just Bake A Cake And The Middle Went Down... Why?

Do you have kids? Were they jumping around the oven? Or did you move the pan while it was still cooking? I get that problem, too, and usually it is because there is a lot of movement in the house. The vibrations makes the cake fall. It's a pain in the butt. HTH

Unless it's an egg foam cake, or an earthquake, vibrations do not make a cake fall. I move, and rotate my pans all the time for more even baking.

What size pan were you using? I have baked a WASC cake in a 11X15 pan and it sank in the middle. After that cake, I started using an inverted flower nail and have never had that problem again. It will help the middle cook faster and would probably eliminate your problem.
I have had that happen for no obvious good reason at all. It was cooked completely. So who knows. I decided it was a scrap cake. 
and boy was it yum.
please help is the first time that it happens but the center of my cake sunked!!!!
It could be a number of things. The cake may not be done in the middle. Maybe you opened the oven door too soon and the cake fell in the middle.
