Alright here's the story. For the last few years I've been unable to get any cake (except for lemon pound cake or boxed cake) to cook properly! It always burns a quarter inch thick and leaves the insides gooey! I've tried plain vanilla cake, chocolate, strawberry, blueberry, rum, you name it, I've tried it. I've used multiple recipes I've found online (unfortunately my recipe book is 60 miles away right now so I can't post those). I've tried 4 different ovens with every temp between 300 and 450 in increments of 10 degrees. I've also tried turning the oven off when it was "done cooking". I've used glass, aluminum, and the black nonstick pans. I've tried round cakes, small rectangle cakes, even a big thin cake on a cookie sheet (that one was a bit better, at least it was cooked. Even if it was burnt.) I've also followed family recipes with the same results. Cupcakes and baked doughnuts come out, just not cake. Does anyone have any ideas, or do cakes just hate me?
