Baking - The Beginners Guide

I put a lot of shortening all over my pan and then put a lot of flour into it before pouring the mixture in. I don’t just sprinkle flour on . Shake the pan around so the flour goes everywhere. You will be able to see if you missed any spots. This keeps the cake from sticking and they slide out easily once I take it out the oven.

I think it depends a lot on the recipe and ingredients you use. I’m sure it makes a difference. For the one I use, this process seems to work.

As my nani says, I make a “tahkat wala” cake so it’s quite “mazboot”.

i hear that and i’ve done exactly that and it never seems to work for me
over and over i’ve been there and done it and then cried because my cake’s stuck to the pan haha so now i just completely rely on my wax paper technique.
i’m sure the recipe has a lot to do with it too. have you tried it with different cake recipes or just the one?
