Thanks. ~Angie sadie 04-02-2006 @ 5:47 PM                                 Member Posts: 4 Joined: Mar. 04 more info  Angie, are you referring to cake layers baked in 8 or 9-inch round pans, or cakes baked in 9X13-inch pans? learnin_to_bake 04-02-2006 @ 8:01 PM                                 Member Posts: 2 Joined: Mar. 06 more info  The cake I'm trying to make is a single layer cake in a 9X13 pan. sadie 04-10-2006 @ 4:26 PM                                 Member Posts: 4 Joined: Mar. 04 more info  Are you testing your cake for doneness in the centre before taking it out of the oven?  Sometimes a 9X13 inch cake starts to brown around the edges but the centre still isn't quite done.  It'll sink a bit in the middle on cooling if this is the case.  Wilton sells a product called Bake Even Strips that help a cake bake evenly.  The strips come in different sizes.  I've used them and they really work.  The ones I have came 2 to a package and fit around 9-inch layer pans.  I have to join the two strips together when I'm using my 9X13-inch pan.
