I lost my last message so this may be a repeat. Can anyone give advice on how to bake a cake in a flower pot? Do I need to grease/flour/etc it? Thanks for your help!

I think I saw a thread on here once about baking a cake in a flower pot. It gave some really great tips on how to do it and get good results. I'll try and find it.

OK, first you make sure your pot is "new"..first wash it really well w/ dish washing soap and water, then sterilize it by putting in the over at 200 degress for about 1 hr.... after this, it should be ready for the cake...
line the pot w/ foil inside, then spray w/ non stick or "easy off" by Wilton.

Pour your cake batter up to 3/4 full.. Bake at the usual temp. Since this is a deep "cake pan" (pot), it's better to bake it at 325..might take longer.
when done, cool completely, remove or lift the foil by holding the edge, then slowly peel off the foil. Now you have a baked cake in shape of a pot.

Here is how Martha did it....
