Help!!!my Cake Is Burning On Edges, I Need
Decorating By alabamadecorator Updated 10 Apr 2007 , 4:05pm by Antylucifer
my cakes are getting done around the edges so much they are burning, and the inside is not getting done as quick. What can I do to make my cake bake more evenly, if anything at all. Thanks [/quote][/i]
Bake at 325° and get an overn thermometer to check and make sure your oven is correct--- I did this recently and found out my oven is about 25° hotter than what it reads, so I bake at 300F.
I also use the wilton baking strips around the edges of the pan.
Just went through this last week-I saw it on Good Eats-they explained it like this. Bad ovens can fluctuate 40-50 degrees while on, better ovens fluctuate 30-40 degrees. When we preheat, the air is the only thing that actually reaches the desired temp. That leaves the surrounding sides and door at different temps-you'll notice the oven kicking on on off more often because the entire oven is trying to reach the right temp. They say if you place a pizza stone on the bottom rack and let the oven preheat an extra 15 minutes, you will acheive the desired temp at an more consistant rate.
IT WORKS! My 2 year old oven has been off since we bought it-cold spots, baking uneven, etc. so I've had to adapt and adjust. I put the pizza stone in on Friday and can't believe the difference it's made. Finally-even cooking without moving pans around-it's great.
