Im am by no means an expert, but I baked my 3 inch cake at 325. did u use a heating core or flower nail?
I baked a round 14 inch / 3inch high cake at 325 degrees from scrath with Wilton pan, and I find that the cake rise good ,have a good texture but the outer slices was more dry than the inside slices. Any suggestions? Anyone??
I bake mine at 325 degrees too. Are u using an oven thermometer?
My oven is about 30 degrees off!
I bake at 325, but I always bake 1/3 of the batter, then the other 2/3 separately, which is not even splitting cakemix when you are talking about a pan of that size. Plus I'd probably have to bake it for an hour and 20 mins.
It may seem like more work, but the combined baking time is probably about the same. for the 14" square, I actually do 3 separate layers. I'm not saying that's the only way to do it, but when you're talking about that much cake, I like to play it pretty safe.
I never used a flower nail, do you think this will make a difference?I always do a 10 and 12 inch with no problem.
The flower nail heats up and allows the center to cook more evenly with the outside of the cake. That way you don't have dry edges.
