DIY Cake Release Paste [Video]

If you're making a cake and it you want it to cleanly release from the pan you'd traditionally would coat the pan with grease and flour. To save time and effort a commercial cake release paste is available, but you can make your own version with shortening, vegetable oil, and flour.

Pastry bakery SweetWise recommends mixing equal parts shortening, vegetable oil, and all purpose flour until it forms a consistency similar to cake batter. This paste keeps for up to six months in a covered container and can easily be applied to bakeware with a pastry brush.

This paste will especially save time when you must bake several cakes, perhaps for a multi-layer birthday cake or for several batches of cupcakes.
