What Am I Doing Wrong Regarding Making Cake

I like to bake cakes sometimes, not from scratch. I usually use Pillsbury. But lately the last few times, the layers stick to the bottom of pan, and it breaks, and I'm getting frustrated! I'm buttering the pans up, so what is the problem?

Grease the pan with butter and then coat the pan with some dry cake mix on top of the butter. It'll keep it from sticking.

Ahh, I'll try that, thanks. Would it stick also if it's taken out of oven too early?

Did you ever try the PAM for baking???

Butter the pan and then lightly flour it. Also make sure that you are giving the cake enough time to cool before trying to remove it from the pan.

Re: What Am I Doing Wrong Regarding Making Cake

I make a fudgy chocolate cake from scratch that is very fragile. I grease the pans with shortening (butter, crisco or even Pam), then put a circle of waxed paper cut to size in each one. Then I grease and very lightly flour the waxed paper. After baking let the cake sit 10 min. and turn it out on a rack or platter. If it should cool completely you can reheat the bottom again by carefully passing it back and forth over the open flame on the stove.
Good luck.
