Follow recipe directions for recommended batter amounts and specific baking instructions for the pan size you choose.
Hint: To help cakes rise high, add 1 to 2 tablespoons Wilton Meringue Powder to each boxed two-layer cake mix.
  1. Prepare the pan by generously greasing the inside with a pastry brush or paper towel and solid vegetable shortening. For best results, do not use butter, margarine or liquid vegetable oil. Spread the shortening so that all indentations are covered.


  2. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons flour inside the pan and shake so that flour covers all greased surfaces. Turn pan upside down and tap lightly to remove excess flour. If any uncovered spots remain, touch up with shortening and flour. Or use Wilton Bake Easy™ Non-Stick Spray or Cake Release to coat the pan—no grease or flour needed.


  3. Pour batter into pan and place in preheated oven.


  4. After cake has baked the specified time, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a cake rack for 10 minutes.


  5. Run a thin knife between the cake and the side of the pan. Unmold from pan by placing cooling rack against cake and turning both cooling rack and pan over. Lift pan off carefully.


  6. Cool at least one hour and brush off loose crumbs prior to icing.
