Old Country Pan Coat

Old Country Pan Coat

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. 

Variation for chocolate cakes and brownies, following steps above:

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup shortening
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup all purpose flour

If stored in the refrigerator, bring to room temperature before use.

Variation for sweet crust, following steps above:

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup granulated white sugar

Can you please make a video showing how to neatly and properly cut the cake after baking?
I’m confused as to how to cut the corners without messing up the rest of the cake.
Thanks

Lisa

@Deborah we just have the one pan for now! I hope to have a one piece pan and a smaller 12 cup pan in the future!
