Putting a wet towel in the oven?!

Answers:
works really well I do it for my cakes to bake even, have never had a fire, and no crunchy edges!. if you don't like the thought of the towel you can buy some bake even strips!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It could, esp if you have a gas oven!. A wet towel takes the place of a water bath!. But I think i'd risk it w/o the wet towel, unless it is a souffle-type, very delicate and tender cake using lots and lots of beaten egg whites!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Never heard of that procedure for making a cake!.
Just think that if you do it!.!.!. keep a very good eye on the towel for the 20- 30 minutes of baking!.!.!.
You could put the cake pan in a casserole dish of water like when you make a custard!.!.!.!.
Good Luck

it won't, just will get really hot!. Basically you're steaming the outside of the cake!.
Might come out chewy on the outside, like a bagel!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
