Recipes That Don't Work

Recipes That Don't Work: Getting it out of the Pan.
#1: Be overconfident in the amount of spray/butter/flour that you put in the pan.

#2: Wait either too long, or not long enough.

#3: Turn it upside down and shake violently until something moves.

#4: Scrape out whatever did not come out and pile it up beside whatever has come out whole.

don't enjoy!

ps. the cake isn't very good anyway.

I wouldn't feel bad, you got over half of the cake out. That's fairly average for cake Thursdays when we elect to use a bundt. At least you can use frosting to cement it back together!

Those pans are ALWAYS the worst! And so enticing because they look so pretty. I love this ongoing series. Perhaps I can be a guest blogger sometime? I certainly have my cooking moments.

Haha, I had to delete that first one, bc it had too many spelling mistakes. It is 4:55 in the a.m. here though. Anyway,back before I moved out here I used to bake occasionally, and I learned a trick for this. When you take the cake out, place it on a damp towel, then later when it's cooled a bit you can turn it upside down, bang it a few times and presto- it slides right out. I've never done it for a bundt, but for other irregularly shaped pans I have, and it worked great. Try it out sometime, it may work.
