Best Cake Release!

I found this recipe a while back and when I tried it I was amazed. I have not had a problem with a cake sticking to a pan since!
I've been told that it's used it many culinary schools. Wish I would have known years ago. Would have saved me money on those aerosol cooking sprays that don't always work.

The formula is simple.
Mix 
1/2 cup of flour
1/2 cup of shortening (I used good ole Crisco in a can)
1/2 cup of vegetable or canola oil

 
 After mixing it thoroughly I stored it in a pretty jar I purchased at the dollar store.
And that's it! You can store this for up to 6 months in your cabinet. No need for refrigeration. You just use a pastry brush to coat your pans when making cakes, cupcakes, muffins and everything else you would use cooking spray with. It's works great! Especially on those heavy cast iron bundt pans that have lots of details. 
You can double even triple the above recipe, depending on your needs. During the Christmas holidays I just make a double batch and still had plenty left over.

  1. This is really amazing and easy to make and to use. Especially if you bake a lot. It gets tedious to do the butter-flour thing every time. This is much quicker. Thank you for sharing.

  5. Hey Diana,wow saw this Coconut Rum Cake,great addition to my Bundt recipes,pouring the hot glaze is similar to what i do when i make this Banana Butter Rum Cake that i threw together a few years ago. Back to the Cake Release, I mixed up a sample batch, wow, i used to live ny Bakers secret Spray, at over 3 dollars a pop, this Cake Release is far superior and the brushing is no work at all, it's easier than doing the butter and flour thing! Great Blog to! Ty.

  9. Oh my goodness! This is absolutely amazing! My cake literally fell out of the Bundt pan!
    Up until now, cakes have always managed to stick no matter how well I sprayed and dusted beforehand but this is a game changer! You just saved me $27.00 that I was ready to spend on a new pan, not to mention all the money I will no longer be spending on Pam spray. Thank you so much!!! 🙏. I seriously can’t believe how great this worked. 😎
