Raisin Butter Cake

It has been more than a year since I did any baking. Today, I managed to steal some time to bake a raisin butter cake since there are some guests in our house. I got the recipe from kuali website. This is how the cake turns out, wonder why it cracks in the middle, could it be due to the temperature, the batter consistency or baking duration ? It also didn't expand accordingly. Not a very successful attempt :)
I have used a non-stick springform pan which hubby bought in the US, therefore it's easier to remove the cake from the pan.
