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. 

Chocolate Pan Coat

Variation for chocolate cakes and brownies, following steps above:

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder

Alternatively, scoop out 1/4 cup pan coat and beat in 2 teaspoons cocoa powder. If stored in the refrigerator, bring to room temperature before use.

Sweet Pan Coat

Variation for sweet crust, following steps above:

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

How to Remove Cakes from a Two Piece Pan

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.
