Hi M.B.! It sounds like either your oven is running a little hotter than ours or that the pans simply conducted heat too quickly. If you've tested your oven with a thermometer and found it's running true to temperature, the best thing to do will be to insulate the outside of your pans. You can do this either by using cake strips or making your own cake strips by covering damp strips of rags with tin foil and wrapping that around the whole exterior of the pans. This extra insulation should allow the cakes to bake evenly so the sides don't become dry before the center has a chance to bake through. We hope this helps! Annabelle@KAF
