Paula’s Recipe of the Month: May 2009
Cake Release

I’m going to go a little outside of the box this month, but you’ll be glad I did.  I’m currently baking cake for Rea’s birthday party tomorrow, so I thought it would be the perfect time to share my Cake Release recipe with you.  This stuff is amazing!  You’ll never spray a cake pan with Pam again…trust me.

Cake Release

• 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 1/4 cup shortening

Mix together until it looks “creamy.”  Store in air tight container.  To use, just take a pastry brush or paper towel and spread a thin layer over the bottom of your pan.

Paula’s tip:  This cake release will last a really long time, but may seperate a little.  Just give it a really good stir until creamy again.  If it starts to look a little waxy, it’s time to mix up a new batch.  Also for extra simplicity, I have the recipe written on the top of my container.
