I am currently baking a 16 x 16 x 3 cake and the recommended time is 55 mins at 325. Well it has been an hour and my cake is still pretty much raw still. I used 4 box cakes plus 4 cups sugar, 4c flour, 12 eggs, 1 an 1/2 cups cocoa powder, 2 cups oil, 2 table vanilla, 3 tsp salt and 4 and 1/2 cups water. What could be the issue?

I would just let it go until the toothpick/cake taster comes out clean. The outside of the cake will get dark, but that can be trimmed and most of the cake will be perfectly fine. Next time for that size cake you might want to try metal "V" cores. But i would say it'll be close to twice the baking time to get a dry cake tester.

I'm sorry I forgot to mention I did use cores and baking strips. Ended up taking about an hour and a half but came out great! I am new to this and the lady at the cake supply store told me 325 for 50-55 mins! I knew that didn't sound right :/ Thank you guys for your help :)
