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

Do you sell the pan coat container/brush? I would like to purchase one.

Dawn

Is that “painting brush and container” shown with the cake goop idea for sale?

I am waiting to order the one-piece square cake pan and the cake goop container. Please let me know once you have them back in stock. I have been waiting for a few months. Thank you.

Karen Clay

Do you have in stock the cake goop container? If not will you get some or where can I order one. Thanks
