How to Bake Flat Cake Layers

From the creator

If you’ve ever wondered how to bake flat cake layers for a bakery-style layered cake, I have the solution! Cake strips help prevent cakes with overly brown edges and domed middles. They simply insulate the edges of the metal cake pan so the exterior and interior of the cake bake at the same speed. Flat cake layers are a must for stacking, as domed cakes are less stable when layered or can lead to a lopsided layer cake. While you can simply trim off the dome with a serrated knife, why waste any cake?! Baking strips will ensure your cakes have a lovely flat top every time. This is one of my favorite baking hacks!
