The bulge happens when the cake starts to settle. Let the cake settle and then you can either take a spatula and remove the excess icing or you can put stiffened buttercream in an icing bag and pipe a dam around the edge of the cake to prevent the filling from bulging out.

The cake is a white cake with a raspberry filling and a meringue based buttercream.

@KarolynsKakes

I've personally never let a cake settle in the fridge. If you want to speed up the settling process, wrap it up in plastic wrap after you fill it and place a 12" cake cardboard circle on top, then place a medium sized glass plate on top. Nothing too heavy, but something heavy enough that it will put slight pressure on top so it helps it settle faster. Keep it on there for about 1-2 hours and it should be good! I have a video on how much cake batter to use for each pan, but it's using a doctored mix recipe. I have a chart linked in the description, maybe it will help you. kzread.info/dash/bejne/d39l0bWJeLW7orQ.html

@KarolynsKakes

I don't have a video talking about settling. I usually let them settle overnight (wrapped in plastic, sitting out at room temp, not in the fridge.) If I need to speed up the settling process, I'll take a cardboard cake circle and place that on top of the wrapped cake. Then I'll put a light glass plate (not too heavy) on top of the cardboard circle (make sure it's center) to help it settle faster. :)

Hi Julie! Yes, I use nails in all of my cakes, no matter what size. When they are 11" and larger, I use multiple nails. They help heat the cake from the middle so it bakes more evenly!

You are a genius !!! Now I know who to come to when I need cake advise. I have 2 questions. If I wanted to use white cake mix, would I have to use 4 egg whites, or more? And secondly, how would I size up from a 12" cake to a 14" cake using your recipe...🤔

I don’t make white cake just because I like having yolks in my batter. I’ve heard that people do 4 egg whites instead of 3 whole eggs. But I don’t want to give you bad advice so you’ll want to double check before you try! And for a 14” pan, you would need slightly more batter. I rarely make cakes that big, but in the past, I believe I have used 3 batches in a 2@ high pan. (There may be some left over.) I hope that helped!

Awwww yayyy!! Do you mean the convection fan? If so, I bake with the vent off for my doctored mix cakes and I use the convection fan for things like pound cakes.
