Treasured Tip #1

Want an even, flat cake without that peaked middle?  Pour the cake batter into a greased and floured round baking pan.  Dampen several paper towels with water and wrap them around the pan before placing it in the oven.  The water will cool the edges of the pan, creating a more level cake.

  1. Quick question - how long are the paper towels supposed to stay on, and should the cake go into the oven with them or without?
    Thanks!

  2. The towels should stay around the cake throughout the entire baking process. So the cake SHOULD go into the oven with them.
