Hello im knew to the forum. I hoping someone can help me. I found a basic cake recipe from the Wilton website. I followed the recipe to a T it came out with a very nice brown apperance but to my disapointment when i cut the cake it had some areas that were not cooked evenly or moist. Can someone help or tell me what went wrong?? or possibly share a recipe with me..

Welcome...can't get real detailed at the moment, but sounds like your oven temp is too high. Cake browning on outisde before inside has a chance to cook thoroughly. Go to receip section in here, try out the ones that are top rated. Someone else will be along to offer more help.

Did you use the bake-even strips that Wilton sells? I always use them and bake at 325. Takes a little longer, but gets done all the way through (without crusty sides). Also, if you're using a large pan, you can use a heating core or flower nail turned upside down in the middle of the batter to help heat the center.

For a basic white cake, I would try the WASC (White Almond Sour Cream) cake in the Recipes section on here. I don't know how to post a link to it, but if you go to Recipes and do a search, it will come up near the top of the results.

Good luck - and don't give up!
