Lemon drizzle cake help!

in Old style MoneySaving
I'm really hoping someone can offer some advice. I've been making a Nigella Lawson lemon drizzle cake with no problems for years - I must have made it about 30 times and it's always been perfect. But the last two times I've made it, it's sunk. I'm doing nothing differently that I can think of. The first time I thought it was a fluke but obviously when it came out the same way tonight I've realised it must be something else.

Any ideas?

    Is your baking powder a bit old maybe?

    That was my initial thought, but I got it about a month ago, and another cake I used it in worked out fine. I'm bemused :mad:

    Could your oven be on the way out? If it has hot spots and cool spots it would affect the way your cake turns out.
