LINING A CAKE PAN

We have all made that superb cake for a special occasion and when you try to remove it from the pan, half of it stays in the pan…..

There are actually a couple of easy fixes for this and this one is the easiest:

Place your baking pan on a piece of Parchment Paper or Wax Paper.

Trace the outline of the bottom of the pan onto the paper and cut out just on the inside of the line so that the paper is a bit (1/4" or so) smaller than your pan.

Prepare your pan according to instructions and then place the parchment/wax paper cut out in the bottom.

Now when your cake is done baking, it should pop out of the pan in one piece.

Once the cake has cooled just a bit, lift off the paper and discard.
