Overheated
Over the course of the past two days I have baked two batches of cookies, a pan of brownies and a cake. Due to the stupidity of my oven, only the cookies came out okay. I made the brownies first and took them out like 5 minutes before they were supposed to be finished and they were already burned. So, since I didn't want to give anyone any crappy brownies, I made cookies. They were supposed to bake in 9 minutes, but I basically watched them the whole time and removed them at 5 minutes and they were perfect. But the next day when I made the cake, apparently I had already forgotten, so I took the cake out at 25 minutes instead of 35 and it was already totally burned. I was like, I am not giving anyone a crappy burned cake either. So I guess today I'll be making a new cake. The cake was all brown, which would have been ok, except it was a strawberry cake, so it was supposed to be pink. Oh well. My oven is exceptionally warm. I will have to take the next cake out at like 15 minutes, I guess. Enough of my adventures in baking. Back to work!

Weird! Sounds like maybe you should reduce the cooking temp when you preheat, too. Maybe by 50 degrees and see how it turns out. I wouldn't want to have to sit there and watche everything I bake. So Strawberry cake for Addie's birthday? I think I'll stop at Edgar's on the way up there and get one.
That sounds great to me! Their strawberry cake is way better than mine, even when I don't burn it. That stuff is like crack or something.
Hey Andrea...I'm glad I found you! :) You are officially listed under my "bloggers I like" section...hope all is well. Oh, and this post was great for me to read, considering I SUCK ROYALLY at baking. I would be blaming it on the oven too ;)
