Cake Mountain

You are baking a cake and when you pull the cake out of the oven and you see that the middle of the cake is much higher than the rest of it.

There are several reasons for this to occur, here are just a few:

When you were baking the cake the oven temperature may have been too high.

When you were mixing your cake you might have added too much flour or over mixed it.

When you placed the batter into the pan, did you use the proper size pan? The pan might be too full.

It could even be that the pan color is too dark or dull.
