Hi. Making 2 small cakes. The insides are raw but the outsides are getting too cooked. What do I do - temp up or down? Shelf in over up or down? The oven has a top/ roof element and doesn't have a fan bake option. TIA.

Put tin foil around the edges.

Thanks Bullock - will try this out but the 'tin' is one piece with 2 holes for making giant cupcake top and bottoms.

Yeah - turned it down to 160. From when I came on here to ask the question and went back to add foil the edges have gone quite dark. Oh well, practise cake will be eatne by husband or chickens.

Depending on what type of cake it is, and how badly it turns out, you can always use it as the makings of a yummy trifle.

Too late, but next time try putting a piece of baking paper over the top, and turn your oven down a bit. If you have cake tins too high in the oven they can burn round the outside and still be raw in the middle, as well. You can use the cake remains as a basis for a pudding made like bread and butter pudding, too.
