Hi Carol,
you need to try and spread the batter as evenly as you can inside the pan.
Before that make sure all engrediants are mixed properly so you don't have
most of the baking soda or powder in the middle and not enough on the sides.
Sometimes the batter tilts a little to the middle or to one side on the way
from the counter to the oven, so the cake looks kind of fuhny when it's out
of the oven. I'm thinking maybe the batter you make is not enough for the
size of the pan? Not sure but it's possible.

Subject: [CnD] 9x13 cake problems
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong with my 9x13 cakes? They always
come out thin around the sides, maybe 3/4 inch thick and very thick in the
middle, maybe over 2 inches thick. I have tried turning down the
temperature for baking. I spread the batter (when it is thick enough to
do so) toward the outside edges of the pan, leaving a thinner middle
section. No matter what I do, the cakes always seem to come out this way.
The funny thing is that there is this little short rim around the edge of
the cake and all of a sudden, the middle portion just rises up, sort of
like a big egg laying in a nest. I am glad to have any suggestions.
Thank you.
Carol
