Recap: The first oval cake (largest pan used) sunk somewhat in the middle. I didn't use any nails or heating core. The second cake: I put in 3 nails, and didn't mix it as long, and it still sunk once it came out and started cooling. I still don't know what I did wrong....

The cake will have a whip cream filling. Any idea on how to make it look like its level besides chopping it in half? (There will also be a cake (doweled) on a board on top of those two layers.

I had the same problem last week lost 10 boxes of mix so I talked to a baker she said my eggs were to fresh seems it make a difference in the ph bal with fresh eggs I had never heard that before also use extra large eggs stablizes the mix. New to me once my flat of eggs was finished my cakes were fine.

By any chance were you using DH cake mixes? I've had that problem with DH cakes but not the other ones.
