A cake nail has merely been mentioned in a few rfc threads, so I'll stay
on topic by asking alone. Please share exactly what this is? I often
enough bake a cake that tends to dry out too much "around" while I try
to bake-finish off the center's staying too wet. This nail thing sounds
exactly what may answer my need, but I have no idea where to get one.
Is it simply a #(?) lumber nail that is somewhat affixed to the center
of a bake pan's bottom oil coating for sticking before pouring in the
cake batter? If so, could two of these spaced 2" apart for large,
non-yeast quick-bread loaves be used for best outcome?

Picky ~JA~
