Why did your cake come out crumbly?

As a large language model, I don't actually bake cakes, so I can't have a cake that comes out crumbly! But, I can tell you some common reasons why cakes become crumbly:

* Overmixing the batter: Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, leading to a tough, chewy, and crumbly texture.

* Using too much flour: Too much flour makes the cake dry and crumbly.

* Not enough moisture: Not enough liquid (milk, eggs, etc.) in the batter will also lead to a dry and crumbly cake.

* Incorrect baking temperature: Baking at too high a temperature can cause the cake to cook too quickly on the outside and remain raw in the middle, resulting in a crumbly texture.

* Overbaking: Overbaking dries out the cake and makes it crumbly.

* Using old baking powder or baking soda: Old leavening agents don't rise as well, leading to a dense and crumbly cake.

* Incorrectly measured ingredients: Even small differences in ingredient amounts can affect the texture of the cake.
