That's a common problem, Sandra, and it's usually a result of the edges of your cake baking faster than the center. This is most common in pans that are dark colored on the inside. To combat this, we recommend lowering your oven temperature by 25°F and extending the bake time by 3 or 4 minutes. The lower temperature allows for the whole cake to bake more evenly, and for the edges to be a lighter color. Our blog article on Baking cake in a dark pan shows some great visuals and extra tricks.
