I have baked two WASC at different times. Both times, I used an 8"x3" Magic Line pan. And both times it took forever to cook and went it did test done, and the cake was cut, about a 2" circle in the center was "gummy". One time the temp was 325 and the other is was 350. Should I use a rose nail? I have the metal core, but don't like to use it on such a small size. Don't really like to use it at all.

Anyway, what could be causing this. I really like the cake, tastes good, is sturdy, just a little heavy to carry.

TIA

I think a flower nail would help, especially since you are using the 3" pans.

I am not sure why this is happening. I use 3" magic line pans all the time and only use a core or nail with cakes 12" or larger. I would chek to make sure the temp is right.

I understand you have that problem with the WASC recipe only.Then try using the flower nail in the center of the pan the next time.

Do I use just the regular Wilton type flower nail, or do I need to find a larger one? And do I just stick it in the middle of the batter after I have poured it in the pan?

It's the #7 flowernail.You can place it before or after pouring the batter.I usually put it first (head of the nail down), but sometimes I have forgotten and have placed it afterwards.

I forgot to add that when the cake is done, the top of the cake is hard almost like candy!! What does this mean?
