Notes
- Take a generous amount of cake release onto your silicone pastry brush and smear a thin layer inside of the pan and all the way around the edges of the pan, too.
- Then pour in your cake batter and bake as usual. It'll come out perfectly every time.
- If you're making chocolate cake, dust the cake pan with unsweetened cocoa powder after applying the cake release so you don't end up with any floury spots on your beautiful cake.
