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

Leita, I’m excited for you to use it! It depends on the recipe, but the mile high recipes can slice into 24-30 slices!
I ordered two pans and gave one as a Christmas present to my sister. Neither of us have used it yet but I plan to use it this Thursday. Can you tell me how many servings this pan yields.
Can’t wait to try it and try some of your recipes- they look delicious!
@Lawanna yes! It will work in place of buttering and flouring any pan you’d need to grease. It’s great for muffin tins or cast iron for cornbread too!
Will your pan coat work on any pan and/or cake recipie? Thank you
@Carla it makes a little more, depending on how much air you beat into it! 1/3 c each might be closer to filling it exactly
