Preparing Cake Mold for Princess Cake

Video Transcript

"Now, I'll show you how to prepare your cake mold. It's very important when using the cake mold like this or a Bundt pan to grease it well and then lightly flour it. So you want to use either a pan spray like this and really put a nice coating on there. And, if you have any kind of a center thing, this has a little center tube; you want to make sure that gets thoroughly greased also. You can use shortening and rub it on with a napkin, or you can just use the pan spray and then, I'm going to just going to take this out for a minute, and just kind of make sure the flour totally coats the inside. When you fill it with batter, I filled my pan about this high and it took over an hour to cook. So, if you fill it much higher, it'll come up here and it'll take a long time to cook. That's why I recommend only filling it to here and then making an additional nine or ten inch round layer cake to go with it."
