[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 332414, member: 1963"] have you tried rotating the positions of the cake pans during cooking? A lot of ovens, especially older gas ones, have wide variations in temps depending on where in the oven you check it. It's possible that one or more zones is too hot/cold for the cakes and that is causing the problem. I'll tell you one thing. I saw husband, who was a chef, "cheat" on a cake too. It something that can happen. Take a level and check again that your range is level, especially if it's been there for a while. You, if you have another person to help, can insert wooden shims at the front or back (or both) ends of the ranger. Just keep checking that level (from length and width) until you get things right. When husband and I lived in Chicagoland, we had a Viking commercial range (big boy's toys, I guess) that went out of level every two years or so. It was a very heavy range, and being we had such an old house, the floors would shift a bit fairly frequently. Our range was installed by Viking themselves, so it wasn't something they did. With a standard household range, two people can do it easily, just turn the gas off before fooling with it and you'll be fine. Our monster took a team to sort out. The shims are available at any home improvement store. You want those and a good level. The shims come in a bag of various sizes. They're just little scraps of wood. [/QUOTE]
