That sounds like a good idea. It would be very hard with us having no
vision to know if the cake is going to be level.

Okay, when my youngest son, Brian had home economics class in fifth grade,
his teacher's name was Mrs. Noakes. She said to gently tap the pan with
the
batter in it lightly on your countertop to get the air out of it and keep
it
spread in the pan nice and even.

Hope this helps.
As for the ingredients not being incorporated, I use a portable, hand held
electric mixer.

hi, what if you pick up the pan and kind of slam it to your counter, well,
not slam, but set it down knd of hard, then let it sit for a few minutes,
maybe this will even out the batter?

When I did spread the batter evenly, the cakes were worse than when I
thinned out the center. The cake mixes are usually for 9x13 recipes. I
would suppose the cake mix people would have made sure the ingredients
were reasonably incorporated into the mix, although I do try to mix
thoroughly, but not enough to overmix. I don't know what other things I
can change. Other things bake fairly accurately. It is just the larger
cakes that don't come out right.

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.

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
