Answer 1

That's definitely weird:) ... I assume you're using the correct liquid measurements.  Maybe you're using smaller pans than normal.  They fit nicely into 2 9" layer pans, a bundt pan or a 9x13" pan.....

Answer 2

you pour to much into the pan...duh

Answer 3

Are you filling the pans too full?  You should only fill the pans 1/2 -2/3 full of batter.  The batter rises as it bakes.

Answer 4

Check the box and then check your altitude. Depending on where you live, you may need to adjust for high altitude, which is considered above 2500 feet.

Answer 5

maybe the temp it too high?
