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 shortening
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup all purpose flour
If stored in the refrigerator, bring to room temperature before use.
