Hi Michelle, you do not need to use a core when baking in a half sheet pan. Some ways to check that your cake has finished baking are by inserting a toothpick in the center of the cake to make sure it comes out clean, and you can also tell that a cake is finished baking when it begins to slightly pull away from the edges of the pan. Hope this helps!
