Cakes can crack when oven is too hot, and you are opening door to continue to check on it. It is especially bad in chocolate cakes. Do not open oven, look through glass and use your timer. Also if you use cooking sprays, spray side of pan only and then you must use flour or cocoa on sprayed to keep batter from pulling away. I still always line bottom of pan with parchment to ensure clean turn out.

When cake is done, move it to a raised cooling rack and cover with a dish towel. Then at end of prescribed cooling time, and time to turn it out of pan, put cooling rack on top of pan, and with two hands, turn cake carefully to ensure it does not crack. If it does though, then when fully cooled, turn cake over with top side up. Slice off a little of the dome, and then put your cake plate or cardboard or other service piece on the top of the cake, turn it over and ice the bottom of the cake. The tension of the dome of the cake, seems to make it split more, so go ahead and cut it off. Also flouring side of pan helps prevent this. These tricks never fail with me. Hope it helps you loads. Good luck.
