okay, si i love to make cakes, but it alway seems like the sides gets dry before the middle is cook...
I have a small stove/oven...it was here when we moved out so, shoul i just reduce the heat and let it cook for longer?
Sometimes i will put a towel or waterver on top to keep the heat inside, so it will keep ot moist, but the sides...i have to cut them off...i have a glass pan, and a metal one, and they all do the same...i grease and put flour...my oven is a pain in the bu&&

Get an oven thermometer and be sure to preheat your oven, then do not open the oven during the time the cake is in the oven-- no peeking!
The recommended heat is necessary to make the cake rise and stay light in texture. If the heat is turned down you'll end up with a brick.

Change the temperature only for the glass pans!! lower by 25 degrees.
Try folding several layers of aluminum foil and wrapping around the sides of the pan. That may help.
You really need a newer oven for solving this problem. Mom's oven would do that to us when I was growing up!! Yes, it is a pain in the bu&& and most aggravating!!!

try greasing only the bottom of the pan. the sides should pull away as the cake bakes.
