Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of the oven. If baking
more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1" to 1 ½" of air space around the pan.
When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two racks so that
one pan is not directly above the other. To allow for best baking results stagger
pans as shown in the graphic below.
