Okay ladies I need help...I baked a Carrot Cake this week and used that instead of my usual shortening and flour...the cake was very salty tasting. I would have just blamed it on my measuring but it was worst at the edges and everywhere that touched the pan. Has anybody else noticed this?? Thanks icon_cry.gif

Thanks for your reply...I guess we are the only ones!! I use to use Baker's Joy and never had noticed that but maybe we got a bad batch!!

I like the Crisco with flour best and I have never noticed it tasting salty. I usually use the Wilton Cake Release for customer cakes, or sometimes break down and use real crisco, then flour it. The old method really does work best and seems to be less crumbs, but I hate doing that and like the ease of the sprays. I'll be making a cake this weekend and I'll have to pay attention and notice if my Crisco with flour gives it a salty taste. That's not a good thing.

I always use the crisco/flour spray and have never had that kind of effect on my cakes, then again I only make chocolate, yellow, or strawberry cakes. I don't like carrot, red velvet cakes or any other flavor cakes, guess I'm a bit dull in that department lol.

I always use equal parts of Crisco, flour, and oil and never have any problems with my cakes in that aspect.

I like making my own, seems to work well and have never had that salty taste. The sprays seem to form a crusty outer edge and besides they are more expensive to use. I also bake on 325 for my cakes.
