and prevent cakes from sticking!
If you've ever worked hard to bake a cake from scratch (or from a mix) then you know how frustrating it can be to have your cake stick to the pan. Well, I have made a lot of cakes, so let me share with you the best method to grease your cake tin so your cake will release perfectly every time.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of shortening onto your paper towel and begin rubbing it on the inside of your pan.
Step 1
Lay your pan on top of the parchment paper. Trace around the bottom edge so you have an outline of the pan.
Step 2
Use scissors to cut along the inside edge of your drawn circle.
Step 3
Place the parchment paper in the bottom of the greased pan. Rub a thin layer of grease on top of the parchment paper.
Step 4
For some recipes, greasing and flouring your pan is the best option. First, grease your cake pan as indicated in step 1.
Step 5
Measure about a tablespoon of flour and sprinkle it in the bottom of the pan.
Step 6
Gently shake the pan, covering the bottom and sides. Then, lightly tap the pan to release any extra flour and dump remaining flour into the trash.
