aww man, why is there a big void on the bottom of my cake?
 

I made a box cake in a 9x13 pan like i've done many times. I flipped it out onto a cookie pan after it had cooled to wrap it in plastic and freeze it and there a an oval shaped divet right in the middle of the bottom of my cake. That's never happened to me before. What could have caused it? I still have two more cakes to make and I don't want it to happen again

Hmmm. Improper mixing. Were your kids jumping around?

The babies were napping so I actually mixed it as long as the box recomended. Usually I cut it short...I think that's really all i did differently

Well I guess it was a fluke because cake two and three came out just fine. :shrug3

Yeah, or that it wasn't completely cooked, or that the pan wasn't adequately greased...
