Apologies for not including a picture, it just broke my heart everytime I saw it😭😭😭

It looked kinda alright after baking but when I tried to take it out of the mould, it LITERALLY STARTED FALLING APART! I'm not an experienced baker at all, but I've never seen something like this. It crumbled into little tiny pieces. The whole cake. So easily. This is the recipe:

Margarine: 85g

Flour: 85g

Sugar: 85g

Eggs: 1

Milk: 10ml

Compound chocolate: 20g

Cocoa powder: 5g

Spice powder: 5g

Dry fruits and nuts: 160g

Condensed milk: 15g

Baking powder: 5g

Baked at 170C for close to 50min, 500gm of batter (approx)

I would love your feedback on what went wrong! The flavor was alright, moisture was great, its just the crumbliness that ruined what was gonna be a decent cake. Thank you!
