Alex Goh's Eggless Fruit Flan

I baked Alex's Sponge Cake thrice, each time with my own modification. First time, it collapsed when cool. 2nd time I thought I got it right, till today when I baked the third time, it collapsed again. In short, the result is widely inconsistent. *sigh*

I do appreciate Art of Eating sharing her personal experience in falling cake... But until I can put a finger on what & where went wrong, I have taken down my version of the recipe. I am putting up the original recipe; I want to do my part to help reduce the egg consumption which will in turn reduces the suffering brought upon the poor egg hens.

I hope my experience does not deter you from trying it out an eggless recipe. I do believe it could be attributed to the temperature (as AoE mentioned), too long a beating time or whatever. I do not know now, but I am sure I will find out 1 day...

Maybe I can try to call Alex Goh to have a chat with him personally.
