How do you stop a cake from creating a lump on it???????
Answers:
take a kitchen towel and run it under water. squeeze it out as best you can and wrap it around your cake pan. put he pan w/towel on a cookie sheet and cook it. the moisture in the towel will help your batter to spread and not rise as much in the middle. you may still have a bit of a dome, but it will be less
Far as I know there isn't a way. You just trim off the top after its done cooking and once you frost it it'll be flat and no one will know the difference.
I`m not really sure what you mean.That never happened to me.All I can tell you is make sure the batter is even in the pan.After you pour it into the pan pick it up an inch and drop it onto the counter to get all the air bubbles out.If it still has a lump just even it out with a knife after it cools.You may want to make sure your oven isn`t too hot.That may cause it to rise up in the center.Your oven may need to be calibrated.
if you are refering to when the finished cake come out of the oven and its not level there is a bump .saw it off . but moms cakes were perfect and i dont remeber her doing that i watched her make it .... eeeh i bet if you were watching her that was when you staring messing around with the icing .. there iss a cake show on tv... and they never leave one as it came out of the oven they start off sawingoff little peaces.. like your lump...
Lower the heat in the oven about 25 degrees.
My cakes have the same problem. Here's how I fix it.
When the cake is cooked and cooled completely, I take a long knife (bread knife seems to work best). Slice off the offending bulge and put it on a seperate plate.
Ice the cake and no one is the wiser. :0)
