How do I stop my cake from sticking to the pan?

Use a good layer of vegetable fat and also dust it with a layer of flour and tip out the excess.

You can also use non stick parchment paper in the bottom and a strip around the sides.

You must make sure that you grease your pan really generously before you put the batter in. You can use either a vegetable shortening or a cooking spray.

Once you take your cake out the oven, give it about ten minutes to cool down before tipping it onto a surface to cool. Sometimes if cakes are left in the tin too long after cooking it causes them to stick.
