HOMEMADE LEMON POUND CAKE
Sometimes I have a little bit of trouble getting my bundt cakes out of the bundt pan in one pretty piece. If you are planning on serving your cake at a get together or a party, you will want your cake to be as pretty as possible. Here are some tips that can help you remove a cake from a bundt pan successfully!
HOW TO REMOVE CAKE FROM BUNDT PAN
- Use a non-stick pan — preferably one in good shape that isn’t peeling.
- Grease the pan thoroughly. Use a pastry brush if it has a lot of grooves.
- Grease the pan just prior to adding the batter.
- Don’t flour the pan; but do coat it lightly with a nut flour (like almond flour) or granulated sugar. Do not use regular flour.
- Loosen the edges of the cake with a knife when you remove it from the oven and it is still warm.
- Don’t forget to loosen the edges of the cake around the center tube.
- Let the hot cake rest for a few minutes before removing the cake from the pan.
- Give your Bundt a gentle nudge or gently tap on the back of the bundt pan while removing the cake.
- If it still is not coming out of the pan, return your cake to the cooling (but still warm) oven for about 10 minutes to help loosen the sticky areas.
