How to Prevent Bundt Cake from Sticking

[@avenwarren6078]

You are never too old to learn ! 61 years old and learned a couple of tips today!

[@gigismith8696]

C'mon people just go old school. Clean your hands and use your fingers to get that butter, shorting or what ever to get it in every corner. Dust with flower, turn it to get all over, hold over the trash can and beat the sides to remove excess! Never has failed me ever!

[@JenniferHenson-n9q]

Thanks!!❤ I'm using small bunt pans

[@ntprobinson5002]

Same way i was taught 💪🏽💪🏽

[@jetcarddude]

I use the hot towel method in the sink. works like a charm.

[@angiecampbellhopkins5451]

Thanks so much for your tip!!!! I have a 6 cavity mini bundt pan that sticks horribly and it never crossed my mind to use melted shortening. Plus, I love the way you jumped right into the content without giving a lengthy commentary.

[@michelledavid4065]

Wow is that the answer! Melted shortening

[@goldfishpainter_emi]

The ungreased pan released the bundt cake with the steam trick! It was COMPLETELY unharmed. My husband is proud of his creation. Thank you for making my birthday cake beautiful!

[@SuperDudley88]

Hi can you explain your self don't understand the steam process, maybe you could explain what you mean????

[@Familyproud-e9h]

Thank you so much. I was about to throw my mould away as my cake never came out whole. Replacing butter with shortening did the job! Thanks again 👍👍👍

[@kabykai]

Thank you so much!!! My bundt cake slid right out. Used shortening and cocoa powder to “grease and flour” my pan! I’m so excited!

[@TheAndrewRitchie]

THANK YOU!! I wish I had seen this before completely destroying my first Bundt cake! (And it was such a decadent and delicious recipe too...) But now I’m ready for the second take! Thank you!

[@frankiebutler2894]

My tip: Wet with COLD water (folded to size of pan) a kitchen towel, take cake from oven, and immediately put pan on wet towel. Let cool 10 minutes, flip out perfect cake!!!

[@AKIYIAKELLY]

I am about to try this now. Thanks for Sharing. 🙂

@@Neetabeeta1972 my cake came out horrible...lol But yes it worked.

[@shielagray693]

Thanks precious

AKIYIAKELLY wait wat it came out bad but it worked?

[@printman7881]

The best way I have found to help prevent sticking. Mix together equal portions of Veg oil, Veg Shortening & flour. Then use a pastry brush to coat your baking pan.

[@ABCpdc]

Baker’s goop. So glad we discovered this at the bakery where we made those tiny bundts. It was the only thing that worked on those pans.

[@HotVoodooWitch]

If you use a spray with starch, use a pastry brush to spread it evenly just prior to adding the batter. If you use butter, lay it on thick with a pastry brush, then dust the pan with dry bread crumbs instead of flour--it works brilliantly and makes an extremely nice crust, to boot.

[@ashleywright8686]

Great video. Succinct. And-no music to compete with instruction. Thank you! 🍰

[@deneitrahutchinson6759]

Worked perfectly on my son’s birthday cake. Thanks for the tips.

[@LPdedicated]

Regular (non-glutenous) rice flour also works really well, believe it or not! If you can't find vegetable shortening (for my fellow Europeans) use rapeseed oil! Never fails! Chestnut flour while hard to find also yields an amazing crust (if that's what you're looking for)! Thank you for this very informative video!

[@HotVoodooWitch]

Chestnut flour sounds awesome. As I commented on someone else's post, dry bread crumbs do a great job.

[@Graceandtrust]

Thank you for your tips. Putting the steamy cloth under the pan worked!

[@jillharling]

Just get a silicone mold, NEVER have I been in tears since I got mine!!!!!!!!!! I still lightly spray it, perfect cake no tears😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@bonnieadlam4452]

I use pan goop.1/3 c solid shortening (butter flavored Crisco), 1/3 c. Flour and 1/3 c.vegetable oil. Mix with an electric mixer. Store in fridge. Let the cake cool on a rack for 10 minutes. I have perfect results.

[@techspidergirl]

You talk so sweetly!

[@stephaniebielagus7950]

Hi Tessa, I have used your suggestions the last 2 bundt cakes I made and they came out perfect, no sticking! Thank you

[@flowerspieces3024]

Thank you Tesa I almost gave up on making Bunt Cakes because of sticking., great tips and I finally got my apple sour creme cake out today thanks to you! I used the towel steam method and I have switched to plastic spatula Thank YOu

[@Honey-Sanchez]

There's nothing quite like the perfect Bundt cake.

[@JasonsGreenSleeves]

Great video and tips! I'm making a bundt cake tonight for my family, so looking forward to using your tips! Thank you :-)!

[@yvetteorvis2404]

I can't wait to try making my Bundt cake now! I'm doing a trial run cake before Thanksgiving. I never had good luck with them coming out clean before and just gave up ..but they are just so pretty that I'll try again 😁

[@johnbuckley5358]

You are my favorite new genius! Thanks for this exceptionally helpful video and for your outstanding website!

[@TessaAriasTV]

You just made my day!! 💛

[@cohorrescentcorporea]

Thank you! I was thinking about putting my bundt pan on a garage sale lmao I was so frustrated with it but I'm giving it a second chance now

[@kerryholt8267]

I should have watched your video before I made my first bundt cake. It got stuck a bit. Thanks for the great ideas, I'll surely use them next time.

[@klaudijamilceva3127]

Me too, I just destroyed my cake and have to start from scratch 😒

[@ronnie5285]

Thank you! This has been incredibly helpful

[@stacykhanhijohn7202]

Thank you for the advice. The melted butter to coat the pan worked great. My daughter is excited to bake even more now.

[@TessaAriasTV]

What do you guys think, are these tips helpful? I'd love to hear YOUR tips! Please share :)

[@MsUnik44]

Fantastic! These are the best tips I've found. Thanks for sharing.

[@R1MRS1218]

Instead of using shortening can I use coconut oil ?

[@flapper7997]

Handle the Heat very thank you. I don't have a bunt tin but one that is shape like a ship. I think this tips will help with this aswell

[@mayydogg]

I used your methods and for the first time in my life my cake did not stick to the pan, thank you so much

[@bluheron44]

I love the tip about the "steam" method---easy peasy!

[@nat3803]

Thank you. I have messed up so many cakes. I am about to put one in the oven now. I hope this helps me do a better job.

[@anyathompson2422]

did it?

[@sweetremission2658]

All of the tips I am reading are helpful!

[@normneeb9809]

Once you brush the pan with melted shortening, can you refrigerate it so it does not run out of any pan details? Then pour the batter in?

[@leonreynolds77]

How I get my Bundt cakes to come out... Cool for 15 minutes, then place whole pan in shallow sink of cold water (not allowing any onto cake) and lift out and dry off pan quick. Pan will now be cool enough to grab. Place your hand over top of cake and turn over gently and sort of shake pan and rotate, shake pan and rotate, all the way around... don't let cake come out on your hand just feel it losen. Then place plate over open end and flip over. Or flip over on cake keeper etc. And yes grease the pan with shortening. (Before you bake cake.) Just grease with cold shortening on your hand, you don't need to melt it. Perfect results for me!

[@kahwana1604]

Just make cake goop. Equal parts shortening, or butter (not melted) and flour. Will keep on countertop or refrigerator if sealed tightly. Works for all pans just in case! Nordic ware with intricate designs comes out clean everytime! It's the ultimate solution for all pans. Try it!!

[@goldfishpainter_emi]

Gonna try these tips tonight. Or rather, my husband is going to try these tips that I made him watch, because he's making my birthday cake for my party tomorrow and he forgot to grease the pan. OH NO!!! But he will try all your tips, and I will let you know if he pulls off the miracle of getting an ungreased cake pan to release a bundt cake once it comes out of the oven. I'm so glad that there are two backup plans. I don't care if it rips, but he will be very disappointed in himself if it does.

[@richardhendrix7894]

that is one beautiful cake,and don't miss the crannies.

[@TessaAriasTV]

absolutely vital, yes!

[@LisaG442]

Make cake goop. Equal parts by volume of vegetable shortening softened (not melted!), vegetable oil and flour. Mix till smooth and apply thinly with a brush. Foolproof for the most intricate Nordicware pans. Also cooling for 10 min before removing cake from pan. No more no less. I just did this on my new gingerbread village molds and every detail is perfect on the cakes! Keep the goop in the fridge and soften before use next time

[@kahwana1604]

I totally agree. Cake goop is the best way to go. Seems as though just shortening would create a slick surface and I like to ice my cakes.

[@pisicacutecat4869]

I did everything you said and I had a total fail. The cake just split in two when I flipped it over. 😔 I think that it's time to retire my bundt pan. The same thing happened the last time I tried to make one. 😔😥

[@ManjariHalder]

Don't give up just yet fellow baker! Use cake release! Or cake goop as we prefer calling it. That stuff is magic!

[@mywaterfountain]

From personal experience, waiting 10 minutes is the magic amount to flip the pan. I haven’t tried with five minutes and then five minutes flipped. But it still seems to go along with waiting 10 minutes to get the cake out of the pan.

[@rosecaldwell5053]

Thank you so much the hot water trick worked perfectly. You saved my birthday surprise!

[@blrandolph6502]

Thanks so much, Tessa! The steam worked like magic!

[@Babsie4826]

[@ketokevinscookingshow9839]

FABULOUS tips! Thank you so much. I am keto so it's nice that you use almond flour instead of wheat flour :-)

[@CH67guy1]

I baked my cake before seeing this video. Greased pan with Crisco and dusted with flour. I let it sit 5 minutes after coming out of the oven. Then I flipped it and it came out of the pan perfectly. But my cake is lopsided, apparently because my stove isn’t level!

[@lizarutherford2477]

Haha. This is so awesome and timely. . I’ve just had to make a chocolate trifle pudding out of a failed marmorküchen which did not release from the kugelhopf mould. I wish I’d seen this four days ago. ❤

Aw well at least you'll know for next time! 💛

[@farajo786]

[@norvaz94]

My resolution... Pampered Chef Bundt Cake pans. They’re the best and no I’m not a representative. No coating needed.

[@barlovesnoop]

I accidentally bought ghee because I thought that was what you said. I now see you said shortening. Will ghee work as well? Thank you!

[@thecrappiecontrol6644]

If I use the freezer method, how long should I leave the cake in the freezer before trying to flip it out of the baking pan?

[@mttaylor129]

It seems that sometimes I didn't know the cake was sticking until I lifted the pan from it, and found some of the cake was still in the pan. Any thoughts?

[@ton.m4923]

If almond flour is way too expensive what else would you suggest other than all purpose flour???

[@nelychaneva8516]

Corn flour, soy flour, rise flour etc.

[@kathykaura7219]

I learned how to make bundt cakes with 1 small water glass of sunfower oil. I never had a cake stick until I stopped using sunflower oil as an ingredient. But before and after sfo, I always buttred my pan.....with butter. Btw: I subbed 1/2 glass milk & 1 glass water for the oil. First time I did that my cake was way better than I had ever made it with oil. 2nd time it seemed a tad rubbery to the pallet but still had a beautiful flavor.

[@carpenterfamily6198]

So I bought the Cusinart pan you recommended from Amazon. It’s the same width as my ‘ original Bundt ‘ pan, but the Cusinart you recommended is a bit shorter. So I compared the volume of the two. Cusinart 11.75 cups and Bundt 14.5 cups. Not a problem but some recipes may have enough batter to overflow the smaller Cusinart pan when baking. ( You can probably tell I’m an engineer and baking is a hobby. ) Also interesting, in the few days since I got my pan, Amazon has completely removed the page for this item. Oct 2021

[@artisticagi]

4:45 use a gridded drying rack with small gaps.

[@mariaconsuelothomen]

Don't you flour your Bundt pan as well as applying shortening? I use a mixture of shortening, oil and flour.

[@szqsk8]

OMG, this has happened to me soooo many times!!! I love baking and love trying different recipes but when the bundt sticks it makes me feel like total failure. 😫. Question about the almond flour....does it show on the cake when you take it out of the pan?
