Okay, I need help. Tried to make a cake in 8 inch round pan. I sprayed with Pam and then floured it. But it still did not come out in one piece. Most stayed stuck to the pan. I want to start all over tomorrow, don't know what to do to make sure it does not STICK!!

What you need to use in "shortening" not oil! Put some shortening on a paper towel, rub the bottom and sides real well. Then put flour in pan and shake it around to coat real well. Dump the rest of flour in trash. That should do it unless you have a very scratched pan. The "sprays' like "Pam' are good for some things but not for cake!

If you use cooking spray + flour, everything will stick. Cooking spray takes the place of shortening and flour. Try just rubbing shortening all over the inside of the pan and then only use enough flour to coat the shortening. Whatever does not stick when you tip it over and bang on the bottom of the pan is too much. Loosen the edges of the cake from the pan 10 minutes after removing from the oven. Then turn out onto a rack to cool completely. Anything more than that and your cake will stick also.

Take a stick of butter and spread it on sides and bottom of pan...making sure all creases are buttered thoroughly, then add plenty of flour. Shake flour around until all areas of pan are covered. Shake out excess. Then tap the pan gently against a counter surface to shake loose remaining flour.
Your pan should look like it has been covered slightly with snow flakes :)
Pour in cake batter and bake. After removing from the oven, let cool completely, then shake slightly to loosen cake from sides and bottom.
Turn pan over and release cake onto wax paper or a cooling rack. Hope this helps. Good Luck

What I always do is I grease the pan and then cut out and stick baking paper around the sides and on the bottom. When it's cooked, run a knife around the side in-between the paper and the pan. Then get a plate, cover the top of the pan, then flip it over and put the plate on the bench. Then just take the pan off, peel of the paper the voila! Your beautiful cake is ready to frost! Also, if you want to frost the sides, make sure your frosting is super thick, and wait until the cake has cooled of COMPLETELY, otherwise it will run down the sides and be really messy. Hope This Helps :)

I still believe in lining my cake pans with waxed paper. Parchment paper has gotten a lot of attention lately, but I still use the waxed paper for layer cakes. Tear off a piece of wax paper and put your pan on it - draw a circle around the perimeter with your scissors and then finish cutting it out.
Grease the bottom (but not the sides) of the pan with shortening or butter. Then put in your circle of waxed paper. Then turn over your circle so it's greased on both sides.
After the cake has cooled 10 to 15 minutes, turn the cake out and remove the waxed paper. Finish cooling your cake layer top side up.

try lining your pan in addition to the Pam and flour. place your pan in the center of a sheet of parchment paper (if you don't have parchment, use waxed paper, wax side up). trace your pan with a pencil, then cut out your stencil. oil and flour your pan (including the sides) and place the paper at the bottom before filling your pan. this should work. make sure your cake has cooled for at least 10-15 minutes before trying to remove it. if it's too hot, it will fall apart.

Wait until it is COMPLETELY cool to take it out of the pan, like wait at least an hour. this should do the trick. I always grease and flour my pan like you did, and this works for me. You may also want to grease with butter or a stronger oil. Also, make sure that the pan is nonstick and still has its coating.

you could get a nonstick pan or try getting special baking spray also if you dont let it cool down long enough it could fall out (that happened to me)
