Answers:
Well you should try cutting the top off and put the oven up a little higher and try that.
I'm not sure it will work but it may work :)
Wrap foil around the outside 11/2 -2 inches of the cake so the outside doesn't burn.
since you already cut into it, try to smash it back into shape so it can go back into the pan.
Make sure you put your cake pan wrack in the middle slot and then put a second wrack on the bottom with an extra pan that has about an inch of water in it.
Preheat your oven to 350 (make sure you are on "bake" setting and not on broil or convection or any of the other new fancy settings)- wait until you get a 350 read before loading the cake in the oven.
Set a timer in5 minute intervals and get a steak knife, long skewer stick or a toothpick and stick the very middle of the cake after each 5 minutes and when your pick comes out clean, it is done.
I have had some box mixes take an additional 15 minutes to bake but you may have a problem with your oven's thermostat.
Just so you know next time, start with egg, liquids and oils at room temperature so you don't use up some of your baking time trying to hear icebox cold batter.
I did a quick search to see if there is a way to nuke it and there actually is:

It looks like you can microwave the raw parts on high power for 2-3 minutes and it will finish.
Hell, if all else fails, heat up some oil and fry dough nuts with some jam.
Next time you bake a cake test it by sticking a toothpick in the center part, if the toothpick comes out clean the cake is done. If it comes out with some cake batter sticking to it you need to bake the cake longer. I don't think there is any way you can salvage your cake now except maybe trying to bake it longer.
well its obviously not cooked, just put it back in the oven, maybe??
