After reading this article I think I have worked out why my last 4 cakes have failed. raw runny batter in the middle. I thought my oven had carked it, but after testing all the elements it is perfectly fine. All four were prepared in my new Kitchenaid mixer so I think I may have over creamed the batter. Will try again tomorrow and follow your tip. 2-3 mins on 3 or 4 speed. Wish me luck. if anyone has any more suggestions, please.
