Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Solid Vegetable Shortening
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whip all of the ingredients together with an electric mixer until smooth and homogenous.
  2. Pour into a glass airtight container and keep on the counter for 3 months or in the fridge for 8 months.

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.
