Don't Have Time To Search...completely Cool Or Slightly Warm
Decorating By lbutrum Updated 2 Jun 2007 , 4:31pm by kelleym
I always let my cakes cool off completely. The times that I haven't the cakes started to split in the middle.
Your very welcome. I always check the cakes & when they are cool I take them out of the pan. I've heard if you don't they will stick. I've never let em' stay that long so I don't really know. My luck they would stick & I would have to start all over 
I allow about 5 min (and usually either: trim hump or do the press down technique) and then turn out.
Immediately wrap in glad warp and either:
if not using same pan again -- put back in pan and cover w/ heavy duty aluminum foil
or wrap in heavy duty foil
then into freezer for several hours.
I wait 5-10 minutes, level in the pan, then turn the cake out onto a cooling rack to cool completely before I either frost or freeze.
It's a balancing act, turning the cake out of the pan after it's cooled enough to not crack or break, but before it cools so much that the pan grease/crisco/release congeals and stops working. 10 minutes is about perfect for me.
I did a tutorial on bulging and getting a flat cake, I don't know if it would be helpful to you:
