With one of the largest cakes i have produced to date i decided it was better safe than sorry and used a flower nail in the tin.
For those who haven't used this method before, the idea is the nail is placed in the middle of the tin and the batter is poured around it, then as it cooks it helps conduct heat to the centre of the cake.
