I've been having the same problem and everyone is telling me 350 is too hot of an oven to bake your cakes in and to lower it to 325, also bake it a little longer to compensate for the lower temperature. Give a try!
When you use a flower nail what do you do about the hole it leaves?
I have two ovens, both convection, I bake at 325 and I get the same results out of one oven! I have checked the temp, and it's accurate, but I still drop it down another 5 degrees and that usually does it! It's strange, but consistant!
Nail should be up. Good luck and post your pictures.
Sorry christele,
Nail is pointing up and make sure you spray the nail or use the cake release so the nail will slide out without pulling the cake apart, and it will not leave any holes that cant be filled with frosting. Good luck and post pics please.

I'm having the same trouble. My mix is very wet (oil and water) but it is my favourite. But takes a long time to cook. So I'm going to try these suggestions with flower nail and lower the temperature for longer!
MiraCibo: those two tips worked like a dream for me. Hope it works for you also.
ARUGH no that didn't work it rose up and cooked fine but the shape was like a donut hourglass. it sunk around the middle of the height... I cut both in half flipped and filled with a tonne of ganache. and levelled it out. IN the end everyone loves ganache so who cares... HAHA ![]()
