Cindy what size cake are you talking about?
Personally I dont like baking cakes in a convection oven....I find that they dry out the cake too much from all the "wind" going on inside. They are good for other things like bread and muffins, biscuits, cookies etc...

Thanks Karen, this was helpful. The info that came with my oven was not very detailed about the convection vs regular baking. I will definately use the regular baking setting next time. -I am trying to learn how to bake larger (12"-14") layers. I would love to eventually do a wedding cake! Is WASC your favorite for those?

Hi Yield Yellow Cake

Combine cake flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a mixer. Mix with a paddle on low speed for about 1 minute to combine. Add butter and mix on low until it looks like cornmeal. Add whole milk and mix on low for about 3-4 minutes or until it is completely smooth scraping every minute or so. Meanwhile combine buttermilk, vanilla and eggs. Whisk to blend thoroughly. Add egg mixture in 4 stages, scraping and incorporating each stage completely. Pour in prepared pans no more than halfway and bake until golden and it tests done. 8" cakes can take approximately 20-35 minutes depending on the oven. Cool completely on a wire rack before removing from pans.

Cindy I forgot to mention to place a parchment circle on the bottom then spray the pan with oil before filling with batter...your cake will come out without sticking to the bottom....remember to remove the parchment before filling.
