alright, i have only so pans pans, and once i bake a cake, I usually need the pan right away. I left the cake cool a bit, but the bottoms ALWAYS stick!!! at the bottom on my pans, i put a piece of wax paper then i heavily spray the whole pan. what else can i try to get the WHole cake out in one piece??? i bake from scratch. i'm just pointing that out because when i use to bake with a mix, i find its completely different.

please help!!!!!

I don't think I would use waxed paper. That may be why your cake is sticking. I make my own "cake release". This is a product sold by Wilton but I make my own and the results are fantastic: RECIPE:
1 cup shortening
3/4 cup oil
1 cup flour
Mix well, store in an airtight container. Does NOT need to be refrigerated.
Just smear this on with a paper towel or waxed paper before you put your mix in the pan. If you want, in addition, you can also give an extra spray with non-stick spray. Hope this helps.

I have never tried your tricks but I always have had good results with either the Wilton stuff or Baker's Ease spray and a little sprinkled flour on the bottoms.

What is nice about the cake release, the flour is already in the mix so it is just one step to coat the pan.

you put the wax paper in, then spray? I always spray the pan and then put my round in after that-also be careful not to over-spray?

Parchment paper works great for me and I don't have to spray at all.

i use the wilton cake release, love it!

I use the cake release recipe I found here at CC, which is just like jobartwo uses, only I use a 1:1 ratio:
1 cup oil
1 cup flour
1 cup criso

I didn't try it for the longest time, but one day I had a cake stick so I mixed some up and haven't had a cake stick since! Plus, it's super cheap, stores well, and it super simple to use. I just brush it on with a pastry brush! I hope that helps!

i have used the cake release recipe before.. i found that after the cake had a residue of fat just coated on the outside of it. yuk. did you guys notice this?>

I just use good old Crisco, slather it all over the pan, particularly the sides and then slap a piece of parchment paper, cut to fit, into the bottom. I never have any problems with sticking.
