When cakes bake, the heat from the pans causes the sides and bottom to set faster, pushing the uncooked center to rise into a dome. If you're not a fan of leveling cakes (and let's face it, few are), you're not alone. While a level cake looks professional and stacks beautifully, there are creative alternatives to avoid this tedious task—like using cake strips or adjusting baking temperatures for a more even bake.
