Yesterday I made two 10" rounds.  Greased and floured just like I always do.  Stuck to the pan and fell apart.  Both of them.  It was a new recipe so today I went to an old standby and dang it, it stuck and fell apart also.

Help!  Here is the recipe I used:

White cake mix - store brand, same as always and added the ingredients on box plus the following:

1 cup flour plus two tablespoons as I am high altitude

3/4 cup sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 butter

2/3 water

1 tsp coconut flavoring

2 tsp coconut oil

Box called for 3 egg whites, I used whole.

Baked at 325 for 55 mins. 

What do I do?  Never had this happen before and I need this part of the cake done today to get it in the freezer overnight so I can fill and buttercream tomorrow.

Any and all help will be a blessing!!!!!!

AI use pan spray and line my cake pans with parchment. Never had a cake stick to the pan.

AParchment has never failed me. Before I started using parchment (years ago), i always had to cross my fingers that a cake would come out of the pan cleanly.

AI have always used parchment - it's what I was taught in culinary school. I only line the bottoms, and if the cake sticks to the sides, it's easy to separate with a knife. The cakes just turn right out without sticking.

I spray the pan, put the parchment in and then depending on the type of cake, I may spritz the parchment too. I never "grease and flour".

I always use parchment. Cake is money and I hate wasting a dime

yes.  Cut a circle parchment the same size as the bottom of your pan.  Also remember to spray the sides of your pan.  never fails

Thank you all so much. 

Never had this happen before.  Yesterday was a scratch cake that was new to me - total failure!

Today was a recipe I have used many times. 

Never have I have any problems with cake sticking using shortening and flour to coat the pans.

I will make it again and use the parchment.  Spray first?

Three 10" cakes is expensive and don't have time for more failures!!!

AI spray first so that the parchment sticks to the pan and doesn't slide around while I'm pouring in my batter. I may or may not spray the other side - depending on the type of cake.

Again, thank you.  I of course never use spray and only had a little left so just used a little shortening to hold the parchment in place. 

It is in the oven and I have my fingers crossed as I wait to what happens.

Well, I changed something this time and added a little coconut creme, the stuff used for making pina coladas.  1/3 cup to replace a 1/3 of water.

OMG!!!!  After cooking for 50 minutes it began to pour over the sides of the pan.  I put a cookie sheet under it.  10 minutes later, there was fire in my oven.  The batter was still pouring over the sides.  At this point I am laughing so hard that my sides were hurting.  I opened the oven door and smoke billowed out!  Hubby who works from home, came running and he too begins to laugh.  Two fans and the french doors opened.  My neighbor thinks our house is on fire and called me, thankfully she didn't call the fire department.  Not sure I could have stopped laughing long enough to tell them that no, my house wasn't on fire, my cake was on fire!!!! 

I have never caught anything on fire in the oven before.  Honest.  I am actually a pretty good baker but today, was just ONE OF THOSE DAYS!!!!!

AUgh! I hate those days! I accidentally doubled the sugar in a chocolate cake recipe once, and had a boil over you wouldn't believe... Well, actually, it sounds like you would believe! Hopefully, you can clean everything up, start over, and your cakes will turn out perfect this time. *fingers crossed*

The oven is in self-cleaning mode at this time.  What a mess.  For a short time just after it started cleaning, there were flames coming from the bottom of the oven.  At least I was able to laugh.  The smoke is almost out of the house now.

Man, I just didn't think about the sugar content of the coconut creme.  Even after an hour of baking, what was left in the pan looked like weird pudding.  Yup, sounds like what you had also!  Sheeeesh.

Now that is funny too!  Not so much that you burned your mixer up, just the story. 

I use equal parts flour, veg oil and crisco and mix in in a mixer and just brush it on the pans. I don't let the cakes cool too long in the pans, they might stick. Cool them 10 minutes and turn them out on a rack. 

I found a tip online years ago and it has NEVER failed.  Grease and flour the old-fashioned way - you can't beat it.  When you take the pan out of the oven, set it on a wet towel.  You'll be able to turn it out of the pan in just about a minute.

AOmg!! I love that you can find the humour when there is a fire in your kitchen. I think I would just cry in a corner lol

AParchment and pan spray are the two most valuable tools in my kitchen. :-D

Thank you girls!!!!!!!  What a nightmare yesterday was!!
