Cakes

The most common cause for cracked cupcakes is a too high oven temperature, which will make the cupcakes rise too quickly and hence crack on top. Adding too much baking powder will make them rise even faster. 

Cake pops are not raw at all. They are made from crumbled cake that is mixed with frosting, condensed milk, or melted chocolate, which adds moisture to the cake mix, giving the cake pop its raw and wet texture.
