The $9 oven thermometer fixed my cake sinking problem for good
I kept having cakes collapse in the middle even though my oven said 350. Turns out the dial was off by 40 degrees and the heating cycle was swinging way too much. Picked up a cheap thermometer at the Walmart in Federal Way and watched the real temp for a week. Has anyone else found their oven runs hotter than the display says?
Bought one of those thermometers myself last year. Always figured my oven was close enough but nope, it was running 25 degrees hot the whole time. Now I check it every few months, cakes come out level every time.
