STICKY SITUATION

You have the same problem every time that you make a cake. When it is done baking, you remove it from the oven and try to remove it from the pan. You almost always get a small chunk or several small pieces that stick to the bottom of your pan. You can prevent this from happening if you prepare your pan correctly.

Select the pan that you are going to bake your cake in.

Now tear off a sheet of wax paper that is slightly larger than your pan.

Using a pencil or pen, trace the bottom of your pan onto the wax paper.

Now cut out the shape from your wax paper approximately 1 inch inside your line.

You now have a piece of waxed paper that will fit in the bottom of your pan. Prepare your pan as requested by the recipe, then place your waxed paper in the bottom just before adding your cake batter.

When it is done baking your cake will come right out the pan.

After cooling for about 5 minutes or so, simply pull up the waxed paper to remove and discard.
