This magical mixture, also known as "cake goop," lets cakes slip from their pan with ease. It's a one-step alternative to buttering and flouring your pans.
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup all purpose flour
With an electric mixer, beat together oil, shortening, and flour until it forms a smooth mixture. Store in an airtight container in your pantry (or a brush just like this) during cooler months or refrigerator year round for up to a year. Paint a thin coat to grease and flour cake pans, muffin pans, etc in one step.

Robert, I hope to make our own someday! Some folks have found them on Amazon or QVC
I love the one piece pan!! Now, where can I get a square cake cover??
Debra, I usually wait until the cake pan is cool enough to handle with bare hands (if it’s too hot the cake can crack), then flip in two motions: 1. turn it up on its side then 2. flip face down. The cake should slide right out if you’ve prepared it with pan coat! If you want to serve it top-up, you’d flip again or serve as is.
How do you remove a cake from the 1-piece pan???
