I'm so sorry, but I canNOT make a decision in real life, let alone in baking. I'm sure I asked this before and someone said that as a rule baked goods were to be done on the middle oven rack. My problem is I CAN'T DECIDE WHICH is the MIDDLE placement!
I'm making my sour cream coffee cake again today in a tube pan, and I've done it on the bottom rack in January and it was perfect, but then the last time I put it on the second rack up from the bottom and it actually wasn't quite as good and seemed a bit dry. Baking time was almost exactly the same, because I write these things down.
How do you judge the "center of the oven" ??? I've read where you are to actually consider the "bottom" as the lower electrical element, and the top is the "top" element. I'm so undecided. I want this particular cake today to be perfect, so any advice (while I go and make it) will be appreciated.
Thank you (as always...again, and again, and again...)
