Using Multiple Racks
2 Rack baking: Use positions 1 and 3.
3 rack baking: Use positions 2, 3 and 4.
When baking four cake layers at the same time, 
stagger pans so that one pan is not directly above 
another. For best results, place cakes on front of upper 
rack and back of lower rack (See graphic at right). 
Allow 1” -1 1/2” air space around pans.
