Level and Crumb-Free Cake in Deep Dish Baker: Tips for First-Time Show Attender

[pcmom2abm]

Had a first time show attender recently who also booked a show. She is wanting to borrow my deep dish baker to see if it will bake a cake that is level--not a rounded top and not too crumby and falls out of the stone. Any suggestions I should give to her. She said that if this works she will be buying the collection as she can. This is the principal of my kids schools wife!
Sadly, I don't do alot of experimenting with our products. I use them for the basics or if I've been shown something that works with them. I love the products or I wouldn't be doing this but don't know all the little quirks that you may be familiar with.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You absolutely can bake a cake in the DDB. Remember, however, that it's an 11" round, not 8 or 9, which is standard for layer cakes.

There was a recipe a few years back for a Banana Split Cake made in the DDB - it had caramel and nuts on it. Delish!

You can also use the 12" skillet for a cake. Sell that cookware!

The Tres Leches Cake from a couple of seasons ago was really good.

In one of the PC recipe books there is a Moka Chocolate Cake done in the deep dish that is too die for. Can't remember which cookbook it's in though.
