Sometimes it's really tricky to get the center of a larger cake done without over baking the outsides. I've seen those "heating cores" to use to help this issue sold at Joann's but couldn't bring myself to spend the extra bucks for one. Besides, they looked like a hassle to me. I'm glad I didn't because I read about an alternative on Cake Central. I found some old metal flower nails (thought I had more but could only find 2, boo), slathered them with the pan goop (see post below), placed them, evenly spaced, upside down in my prepped pan (next time I'll find more flower nails to use), poured in the batter and baked. This picture is the cake turned out of the pan with flower nails removed (they slipped right out-thank you Pan Goop!). It was evident to me how the center was more evenly baked using the flower nails as heating cores. Next time it'll even be better with more flower nails!
