cake burns on bottom

Our answer. If you find that your cakes are brown on the outside but are still raw on the inside then it is likely that the oven is too hot. Most cakes are baked at around 180c/350F/Gas Mark 4 on the middle shelf of the oven.BURNT CAKES

Answer 2
If your oven heats unevenly you can also bake you cake with can pan on a sheet pan that is doubled up as well.(two sheet pans stack on top of each other) This helps with the bottom of cake (if you don't own a glass pan) from turning too dark too fast. Of course, you should in fact bake the cake in the center of the oven at best.
Answer 3
Moving it up should help. Also try a glass pan not a metal pan that will slow the heat transfer into the cake.
