Question for Mom


How do I get cake layers out of their pans after baking without breaking or somehow damaging them?  Nicole E.

The secret is putting a layer of wax paper or parchment paper in the bottom of each cake pan before pouring in the batter.  Cut out pan-sized circles of one of these papers and slip them into the bottom of each pan.  Then spread a small amount of butter or canola oil onto each paper circle.  When you remove the baked cake layers from the oven, set them on a cooling rack and let cool.  Slide a knife around the edge of each pan to loosen the layer.  Then carefully turn the entire pan over onto a plate or the cooking rack itself and gently remove the paper.
