I baked this cake and followed the instructions to the letter; when I took it from the oven it looked picture perfect. I inverted the cake immediately and it was a disaster; the cake broke apart. Although it says not to grease the pan, it might have prevented this from happening. I need input as I would like to try this cake again.

I have baked this cake for years and always had great results. Don't grease the pan. I bake it for about an hour and have never had a bad experience. I don't use the walnuts as my daughter is deathly allergic, ditto the peanut oil but other than that, it seems to be good. Good luck the next time.
