Just checked, and one sachet is 11g, but that's more than I would normally have used for this amount of flour, and as per Claire's comment I will use less next time -- maybe 8g? What's a bop??

Smells great. Just finished the bop which was v. good according to partner. I enjoyed it a lot, tho' bop not one of my favourite cuts. Stuck a bay leaf under as well (thought I might as well as not). Crossed my mind to put in a couple of cloves or juniper berries but maybe next time... Anyway, what's a 'sachet' of baking powder? In the East Mids it seems only to come in tubs and can't imagine you mean a whole one of those. Just out of the oven so ‘resting’ – the cake, not me. Smells great.

A cake sagging in the middle can be caused by too much raising agent. Try reducing by a ¼ tsp next time. oranges ==> Seville maybe?
