Cake Baking Tips

I don't make layer cakes very often but when I do I want them to come out perfect. No sticking to the pan! These are a couple of things I do to make sure my cakes come out of the pan clean and complete.

When a recipe calls for a "greased pan" it means to use solid shortening, not oil. And a greased pan means bottom and sides. Plus, you can add a wax paper liner to the bottom of the pan. This is done by tracing an outline of the pan on the wax paper and cutting it out. Place your liner in the bottom of the cake pan, pour in your batter and bake. When done, invert the layer on a rack to cool and gently peel off the wax paper while the cake is still warm.

I hope these tips will make your cake baking easier too.
