For a moist,even cake

When I took my Wilton baking class 4 years back, my instructor said that once we pull a cake out from the oven, you will need to leave the cake in the baking pan for exactly 10 minutes and then run a knife through the edge of the cake and turn the baking pan upside down. This way the cake does not break when pulling out the cake from the baking pan.

Putting a paper towel on top of the cake can help keep the moisture too.
