The reason that the cake forms a dome on top is that the sides cook faster than the middle, so when the middle cooks, there's nowhere for it to to go but up. You can lower the baking tempterature and bake for a slightly longer time. I usually bake at 325 F until the cake tests done.
You can put an upside-down flower nail into the center of the cake. Spray it with nonstick cooking spray first, put it in the pan, and then pour the batter in. It will act as a heating core and help the middle cook a little faster. When you turn the cake out of the pan, remove the flower nail carefully---it will be very hot. It leaves a small hole in the cake, invisible once it's frosted.
You can also use bake even strips. They're fabric strips that you soak in water and then fasten around the outside of the pan before putting the cake in the oven. I've never tried them though. The flower nail method works well for me.

Wrapping wet strips of clean cotton fabric around the outside of the cake pan works very well in preventing domed cake tops. Synthetic fabrics should NOT be used, as they can melt or give off unpleasant odors at baking temperatures. Strips of old T-shirts, torn bed linens or twisted gauze all work well. The strips should be thoroughly wet, wrung gently, then secured around the cake pan before pouring in the batter. Be careful to tuck in the ends of strips so they do not hang loose or touch hot elements.
this is correct but remember cloth catches on fire

A strip of wet cloth wrapped around the outside of the baking pan will slow the rising and prevent a "hump" in the center of the cake.

What cake would you use for a 5 tiered stacked wedding cake Red velvet or Red velvet pound cake?
Because the lower layers of a 5-tiered cake must support the weight of the higher layers, a Red Velvet pound cake would be much better than a simple Red Velvet cake. In any tiered or stacked cake, you need to use appropriate rods inside each layer except the very top. Each layer must also rest on a cake circle (a cardboard or plastic disk or plate,) which can be disguised by frosting, coconut or icing decorations.

Is it unhealthy to put so much red food colouring in the red velvet cake?
I don't believe it's unhealthy. If it were, it wouldn't be called edible food coloring. So as long as there is no warning on the container, it isn't unhealthy. But isn't red velvet cake colored with raspberries? That's how a southern red velvet is made, is all I know.
Is red velvet cake actually chocolate cake?
No. I've made a red velvet cake and it has a much different taste and texture than an ordinary cake. It's more like a complementary cake because if you were just to eat the icing, it would taste gritty, if you just eat the cake you really get no flavor but when you eat them together you'd never believe how well they actually go together. Red velvet cake is more moist and rich. If you were to sample red velvet cake and regular cake you would definitely taste a difference. If you ever get the chance I highly recommend you try it (:

The combination of red food coloring plus cocoa are what gives red velvet cake its unique red color. But it isn't just the cocoa and food coloring that makes it a red velvet cake; the rest of the ingredients are what gives it the distinctive flavor that differs from a traditional chocolate cake.
