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.

Please let me know when the one piece square pans are back in stock.
Hello All and Happy New Year.
I truly love my 2 piece tube pan. I am waiting to order the one piece pan and the spatula.
Everyone that gets a pound cake from me, ask: Is it going to be the square one. Yes, of course.
In fact I have put away all of my other round pound cake pans and use only the square pan and the decorative bundt cake pan.
I love your site and I use it for my go to pound cake recipes and icing.
Thank you again for sharing such a wonderful site.

I love my one piece pan! The pan coat is pure magic! I store my pan coat in a small wide mouth mason jar and use a natural bristle pastry to apply it with. Very easy! Works very well!
