A few weeks ago I used a really simple recipe to try and make a cake for a friend’s birthday. It looked and smelled great until I tried to remove it from the pan. Utter disaster. I was madder than a wet hen. Oh, I hate kitchen disasters. Incredibly aggravating. After the death of the would-be birthday cake I had to toss what was left of the cake and then scrubbed the kitchen just to get rid of some frustration!
After doing some research and receiving some excellent guidance on the Garden Web Cooking Forum I decided to try again last night. I did two things differently. First I sprayed the pan this time with the Pillsbury with flour spray and I did this RIGHT before I put the batter in the pan. I learned recently that in theory the spray can trickle down in the pan (of a bundt) leaving some areas kind of exposed and cause sticking. Anyway it was worth a shot. I am happy to report my cake came right out of the pan like nobody’s business. Yeah! Still needs to be frosted or glazed.
