I'm making a chocolate cake, and I don't have wax paper. Can I put aluminum foil on the pan instead?

I want to line the pan before I put the cake in.

Yes. I did it last night with chocolate cake, and it worked just fine. Put some canola or cooking oil on the pan, put in the aluminum foil, and put canola or cooking oil on the foil. Also, put some flour on the foil. It works great.

Are you looking to cover the pan after it's finished baking for storage purposes or are you looking to line the pan before baking?
If for storage purposes -- yes aluminum foil or even plastic wrap would be a good alternative.
If to line the pan (which I've never heard of when baking a cake) just grease the pan with butter or shortening instead. The aluminum may want to stick to your cake.

Wax paper will not stick to the cake but aluminum foil might. If you spray it with cooking spray it may work nearly as well though.

If I didn't have wax paper, I would omit and make sure to butter and flour real well. I think the foil will greatly alter how the cake cooks.

I would not, just use non stick spray on your pan or better yet a little bit of flour. Foil will screw up the heat distribution.

don't use foil. if you don't have waxed paper, grease and flour pan before adding batter. (smear a small amout of crisco or whatever you use on bottom and sides of pan. then add 1/4 cup of flour and tap bottom and sides of pan till lightly coated. tap extra flour into garbage) you should do this even if you have waxed paper.

I would just omit it as foil tends to stick.. butter and flour the pan well and it should be fine.

As fudge doesn't need to go into the oven, you could use foil. Just make sure that you don't expose it to fire and keep an eye on it.

I have done so and it workd fine - if you have the non-stick foil, that would work better.
