Can you tell me what am I doing wrong? When I cook biscuits, muffins, cookies etc. they are either perfect on top and bottom but uncooked im the middle, or too brown on the bottom and uncooked in the middle and slightly uncooked on the top? I've adjusted racks, etc but still get same results.

I would be inclined to think that your oven heating temps are off. You could purchase an oven thermometer to check and there are ways to adjust these settings (if you have your booklet to your oven, it may have the directions in there to do this)
It sounds like your oven needs to be calibrated. This is generally not something you can do yourself, you'll need to have it looked at professionally. In the meantime the best thing I can recommend is to get yourself a baking stone. A stone will distribute the heat more evenly throughout the food. If your oven is extremely off, you may need to adjust the temperature setting up or down by 25 degrees to get a satisfactory result.
Check your heating element.
Yeah sounds like oven running hot. Mine is like that. Got a thermometer and I go by that and not the temp on the dial.
I'd agree that you need to check your oven temp. However, you won't be disappointed in a stone either. I'm a P C consultant and I'd be happy to set you up with a stone. babe61531 @ yahoo.com (remove spaces)
Hi, I've recently been trying my hand at baking cakes from scratch. Each time I've done it, even with different cakes, the cakes aren't 'fluffy' -they're always flat & always taste great, but are really dense & this last one (red velvet) was even on the slightly creamy side (after you put it in your mouth and give it a few bites). I am following the recipes to the letter -and- am testing for doneness with my toothpicks (they're always clean & the tops of the cakes even look 'golden' & ready) -- what am I doing or not doing?
I found a delicious carrot cake recipe that, first run, was excellent. Subsequent attempts, however, have left a lot to be desired. Mostly the middle sinks in, which ruins the aesthetics of the cake. Any advice?
Help. A cake that I have been making for years now seems to be fully cooked & fluffy. But when I take it out to cool within minutes it falls? What can I do?
Can you tell me why my cookies come out more like cake then chewy or crunchy cookies?
