In my home oven, middle rack, 325 degrees.

Store oven is convection so it doesnt' matter.

Middle rack, 325 for all cakes but chocolate.

For chocolate cakes (mine seem to be drier?) I baked on one rack above the middle at 325.

I currently have a GE oven at home, I bake on all 3 racks, 350 for all cakes. It takes longer to bake all the cakes at the same time, but I like it that way. icon_wink.gif
Oh! and I've lined my oven floor with heavy duty aluminium foil, I think it helps the bottom rack cakes from burning.
At work we have a huge Blodgett convection, I love that oven so much!

Mine's a home oven too. I bake at 325 in the middle and top rack at the same time because I usually need the oven space. It works out fine except the top rack bakes slower.

I usually bake mine on the middle rack at 350*. Except, for smaller cakes or cuppies, I just recently learned to bake them at 365-375* so that they don't fall. (High Elevation)

I have a Bosch...at home, a gift from my hubby!! I have 7 cakes in right now all 3 racks and 350. I don't use the convection on it, it tends to dry them out.
