My oven has five rack positions. When baking a cake mix, at what height should the oven rack be placed at? If it helps, I usually bake using two 9" round pans. The box of cake mix typically doesn't specify. Is there a norm? Also, at what height should the oven rack be when baking cookies (e.g. chocolate chip)?
