First, I suspect your oven temperature is off. Buy an oven thermometer at your nearby kitchen store and check that the temperature it says is what your over dial says. Follow the directions on the recipe as to preheating. Don't over-beat your batter-too much air in it may also be at work here. Throw away the coated pans- if they were any good, professional bakers would use them, and they don't. Good luck and I hope this helps. Chef Rick Mary, it could be any one or a number of things.

HELP I received a new pan some time ago and gave away my old one and am not sure I have made a good cake in the new one. They rise and look beautiful - then fall, usually before taking out of the oven. Do I need to adjust the oven temp. when using a factory coated pound cake pan? HELP
