I can't help Fredo as I'm not that skilled in the baking department. However, I'm sure it tastes delicious anyway.

I am not sure. I know what your talking about, but I don’t know what it is called or why it’s even there.

I make apple nut bread and it actually sunk in the middle. I've found that if i leave it in 10 extra minutes, it doesn't do that. So i think maybe it's the opposite going on here. Maybe take it out 5-10 minutes sooner. Just check with a toothpick to see if it's done. poke it in the middle and if the toothpick comes out clean, it's done. If not, leave in 5 minutes more. Repeat if needed. Not all ovens are alike.

Alas I'm no baker so can't help you with the issue, other than with eating it. It looks delicious, split on the top or no.

Sometimes your oven may be too hot, or maybe you are opening the door too often. Sometimes who knows why it happens. Cover it with a glaze.

Have you tried googling it? My guess would be it is a bit over baked, but not sure, sometimes that seems to happen, and other times not so much.

I always thought that it was the steam rising as the item was baking. I always used that as an indication that it was close to being perfectly baked!!

It happens all the time and for a reason. A lot of breads with moist, dense batter do this because the heat of the oven causes the top crust to set while the interior of the bread is still rising.

I thought that was pretty much normal - mine often do that! Still tastes great.

As other's have said, that is common and not really a problem. My cheesecakes do that sometimes, and that is a bit more of a problem. It happens less often if I don't open the oven door, just turn it off at the appropriate time, and let the oven cool before opening the door.

That is usually the case when the oven's temperature is too high. It makes the batter rise up to the point that the sides cooks way faster than of the middle part. Happy baking!

That looks delicious, I love cranberries. I have found that when that happens it is usually as a result of a draft getting to the bread when its baking, did you open the door and sneak a peak maybe?
