Why Did My Cake Sink From The Middle???
Baking By verosuperstar Updated 1 Feb 2013 , 5:22pm by leah_s

Does anyone has an advice on this. I baked 2 14"x14" square cakes and they sank in the middle. It is the first time it happens this to my cakes. Any ideas of what i did wrong? Can i fix it by adding more cake in the middle to make it even instead of baking them again? I will stack a 10x10 and a 6x6 cakes on top. The cake is for a quinceañera, i am just affraid that if i stack it like that the whole cake will collapse.
Thanks,


But when i poke the cake with a toothpick it came out clear that's why i took it out of the oven. Yes i always put wooden dowels in the middle, do you think if i put the wooden dowels and stack the other cakes it will be ok? I tasted the cakes and they taste good, do you think i need to bake them again?
Thanks.

I'm curious, at what altitude are you baking? I live almost 2 miles above sea level and have had to adjust my recipes for the altitude or they sink in the middle.
