REMOVING THE CAKE FROM A PAN EASILY

If you have problems with cakes sticking to the bottoms of your pans, try this next time you bake.

Read your recipe carefully. If you need to grease the pan, try to use shortening or spray in oil. This will ensure complete coverage.

After the timer has gone off, make sure that the cake is thoroughly cooked.

Most cakes are done when they pull back slightly from the sides of the pan or if it springs back when pressed lightly with a finger in the center.

After removing the cake from the oven, place the pan on a wet towel on the counter to cool.

After about 10-20 minutes place a wire rack on top of the cake pan. Holding the rack firmly in place, invert the pan so that the cake will fall onto the rack. The cake should slide out of the pan onto the rack.
