Bake your cakes at 325 degrees instead of 350 degrees- You know how you bake two round cakes to stack on top of each other and they come out with huge humps in the middle of them (and then you try to put them on top of each other and fill the extra space with icing!)? Well, decreasing the temperature and increasing the baking time will help to reduce the hump in the middle of your cakes. They also have things called bake-even strips that helps to bake the cake evenly and you will have an even smaller hump, if you have one at all.
When you decide you want to bake a cake, whether from scratch or from a box, make sure that you only fill your pan half full. Don't over fill your pan or your cake will over flow or you will get a huge hump in the middle of your cake!
