Darn -- I tried another batch today, using your recommendation (250F, 1.5 hours)

-- it was still wiggly, so I even left it in an extra 15 minutes. Still

collapsed.

Did you use the cashew butter, or the cashew flour version?

Marina,

I sent out a plea about this same problem about 6 weeks ago and Sheila

recommended that I lower the temperature and bake it longer. So I

lowered the temperature to 250F and baked it for 1.5 hours and now it

comes out great every time!

Sheila,

My first loaf was in a 10x5 inch pan. I made a half-recipe of the cashew butter

bread, and it filled the pan just over halfway. At its height of baking, the

loaf was at the top of the pan -- then it collapsed.

My second batch was a full recipe of the batter. I divided it between my 10x 5

pan, and a second 8.5 x 4.5 inch pan --

Maybe I need to try the flour instead of the cashew butter -- possibly that's

more stable?

Also, thanks for the advice on dripping yogurt. Off to drip now.

What size pan are you using and how high are you filling it?
