How to Prepare a Cake Tin So the Cake Won't Stick

The not-so-perfect end to a perfect dinner is a cake that sticks to the cake tin. Sure, it still tastes good, but you get a zero for presentation. If the cake is a tier or baked into a shape to be decorated, it becomes even more important to ensure that the cake will not stick to the pan while removing it. Spray-on oils are not always reliable and can give the cake a strange taste on the edges. Instead, use a tried and true method for preparing a cake tin so that the cake won't stick.

Things You'll Need

• Parchment paper
• Vegetable oil or shortening
• Flour

Instructions

1. Place the cake tin on top of a piece of parchment paper and trace the outline of the bottom of the cake tin onto the paper. Cut the parchment paper according to the outline drawn.

2. Grease the cake tin with vegetable oil or shortening.

3. Place the cut-to-size parchment paper in the bottom of the cake tin and grease the top of the parchment paper.

4. Dust the entire tin with flour.

5. Bake the cake as required. Remove the cake from the pan before it cools completely. Pull the parchment paper off when you remove the cake from the pan.
