Just write the code accurately; and you will achieve the desired effect. Here is the hint: either use toggleClass along or addClass/removeClass without toggle.

Read more carefully:
http://api.jquery.com/toggleClass/[^],
http://api.jquery.com/addClass/[^],
http://api.jquery.com/removeClass/[^].

The function .toogle() is unrelated to CSS classes; it just displays and hides the element:
http://api.jquery.com/toggle[^].

Now think about it: if some content is hidden, what's the use of changing its CSS class? The opposite makes sense: you can change the class, and the CSS classes may have different visibility. But what you are trying to do makes no sense.
