Reasons:
Out-of-date/wet ingredients such as flour or incorrect quantities.
Opening the oven door too soon.
Oven temperature is incorrect.
Overbeating your mixture, adds too much air and can also cause your cake to sink or collapse.

Answers:
Check ingredients fully, ensuring your flour isn't wet, your products appear fresh, and your scales are fine.
Never open the oven door as soon as you have put the cake in; always leave it in for a good deal of time before checking on it.
Invest in an oven thermometer so you can ensure correct temperatures.
Mix little and often in quick spurts.
