Even Cake Layers

I accidentally discovered a way to make my sheet cake rise evenly. Since I didn't have a heating core handy, I decided to experiment by placing a metal cake decorating tip in the center of the cake. I greased it before placing it in the center of the cake pan. I figured it would conduct the heat. It actually works! I had a small hole in the cake that was easy filled with icing. It's much easier than patching the large hole created by the heating core.
