How to Use Homemade Cake Release
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.
Tips for Chocolate Cake
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.
