Hi Jenny! Convection isn't ideal for cakes as the blowing hot air can dry out the exposed cake and create a crust that doesn't want to stay attached to the soft, fluffy interior. Have you tried baking your cakes tented with foil? This will keep the moisture inside. You can remove it for the last 10 to 15 minutes if you want the top to be brown, but this should help prevent that crusty layer. Annabelle@KAF
