Cake Stuck to the Pan? Don't Panic 👩‍🍳

 Good Day Bake Fam!

It's CAKE'EduMonday🤸🤸🤸.

For those who are new to the tribe, every Monday we share exceptional baking nugget, tidbit and guide to help you bake better. 

You found the perfect recipe, you smelled the aroma of a freshly baked cake, and now the cake is STUCK! Noooooooooo! Sadly, it happens to the best of us. Here are a few things you can try to get a cake stuck in pan out of the pan.

DON'T TAKE TO BANGING THE BOTTOM OF THE PAN TO TRY AND SMACK IT OUT. 

This is one of those things that other people say to do and I say don’t. It only works about 50% of the time. 

Instead, run a butter knife or spatula around the edge between the cake and the pan and see if there are just a few stuck spots. Try to flip the cake out of the pan again. If that didn’t work, proceed.

REHEAT THE CAKE PAN IN THE OVEN. 

Try reheating the sides of the pan by popping it back in a warm oven for 5 minutes. 

Run a butter knife or spatula around the edges again, paying special attention to the corners of the pan.

After that see if you can get it out by inverting it onto your plastic wrap or cooling rack.

FREEZE IT OUT. 

If the cake is STILL stuck,  just let it cool in the pan all the way to room temperature. Then, wrap it in plastic and freeze it for 6 hours. 

Now it will be able to take you wrestling it out of the pan! Remove the frozen cake by running a buttered knife around the edge and trying to get it to fall out. You can also try getting it out with an offset spatula or a fork. This may get a few damaged edges, but nothing a little frosting won’t hide.

LASTLY, If the cake breaks In a really tragic way where it’s just a crumbly mess, there’s always trifle, cake jars, or cake pops!

Don’t be too discouraged, it happens sometimes.

Go bake the world into a better place!
