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.

Can you use the pan to bake a regular made from scratch pound cake ? Love the pan and gonna order it soon . Thank you

I need please a mile high pound cake pan
Alexia, to prevent leaking in two piece pans I always place a square (or circle, for round pans) of parchment between the two pieces. This acts as a gasket and as the cake bakes, it seals the paper to the pan with the cake batter itself! I also always place a baking sheet on the rack below the cake to catch any drips
Love my pan and spatular
