Ok I am a dummy. I am making a box red velvet cake, but I have no flour to coat the pan with and I have no wax paper! What do i use to keep it from sticking? I have already oiled it. Help

if you haven't mixed the cake yet you can take a bit of the dry mix and use it like you would the flour.

My FIL uses sugar in lieu of flour when he bakes his pound cakes. He says he likes it because it doesn't leave a flour residue on his cake. HTH

Yesterday I was baking in my mom's kitchen and forgot my pan grease at home. She was out of flour, so I did as was suggested above. I opened up the cake mix and used a little of it to coat the pan. It worked fine.

I haven't floured my pans in over 25 years. CK Products brand Pan Grease only. If I'm out of that, then just some Crisco or shortening. Cakes rise higher without flour.

Indydebi, do you just use Pam on the bottom also? I only use it on the sides and waxpaper on the bottom. I've been afraid to use it on the bottom for fear my cake wouldn't release without some of it being left on the bottm of the pan.

Pan Grease or Crisco on bottoms and sides. Cakes pop right out with no problem. I have them out of the pan and onto the cooling rack within 3 minutes of removing them from the oven.

I don't like to use Pam ..... whenever I've used that, my cake sides and bottoms looked like SpongeBob. dont' know if it's the Pam that causes it, but it happens every time. With the Pan Grease/Crisco, the cakes have a beautiful golden color and a very smooth texture.

I always use the Pam with flour. Never had any problems!

I use pan or parchment paper,

I have also used powdered sugar and Pam. It makes the baked good a bit sweeter than flour residue. And, doesn't show up like flour does. For darker cakes, you could also use cocoa powder...

OR - you could just use parchment paper if you have any of that around...

Good luck!

Parchment paper in the bottom and you should be good to go.

I don't use any flour at all, I do use the wax paper on the bottom. i have tried the Baker Joy spray and I really don't care for that, my cakes stick sometimes. Thanks for all of the tips everyone.
