Before you put the pan in the oven, try banging it on the counter to expell air pockets.

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.
