Baking an AI Cake

I admit that I am not good with baking or cooking but sometimes just feel like trying out some easy recipes that I stumble upon online.
Today, however, my 2 boys decided to bake me this AI made cake recipe by Google. It is a Cake-Cookie hybrid
First and foremost, it is an easy recipe....and the result is not disappointing although sunken at the center. 
Just as described "It has the crispiness of a cookie and the, well, “cakiness” of a cake.".
We agreed that it is a bit too sweet. 
So, next Cakie must remember to reduce the sugar. 
Yeah, there will be a next Cakie.

Any pointer on how to avoid the cake from sinking?

Enjoy, stay safe and stay healthy.

Wire Wrapped Pipa Earrings by William

Wire Wrapped Pipa Earrings by William

This wire wrapped dangle earrings with Pearl and Amethyst is created by William for his English teacher as a retirement gift last September.

The dangling piece with Amethyst is the Pipa Knot, first introduced by Corra. This knot is very versatile and you can create variations based on your creativity. I used them for bracelets, pendants, clasps and earrings. See some of the variations that I made here - Pipa knot used in various pieces
