How can i Get My Cake Outa the tin. Its stuck?!
Answers: Please help its for my dads birthday
Just frost and serve it from the pan. Next time always grease and flour your pan, and let the cake cool 10 min. before removing it from the pan.
cut a knife around the edges of the cake to loosen it, or maybe leave it in the tin and cut the cake after hes blown out the candles
WHAT A SWEET kid you are....baking a cake to surprise your dad!!! That is wonderful!!! You get a star for that and for your question. Wish I could give you a Million stars***********************************...
Oh I don't know if there is a true secret. I have been cooking for 7 years and I still have mistakes like that. Not all the time mind you, but sometimes things like that happen.
I make a carrot cake like that and it would be in pieces every time I would turn the pan over.
My solution was to be sure to grease my pans good and flour them good and ......
I went to 4 (8 inch pans) instead of 2!!! That may not be possible for you to do, but I had no choice. I had to frost this cake with 2 pounds of confectioner sugar mixed with 3 pkg. of cream cheese and 1 stick of butter. So you can see what a mess I would have.
And YES, YES you must let it cool...if you don't you WILL have a mess.
You will need a sharp knife and trace along the outside of the cake with the knife. That will loosen the edges stuck to the sides of the pan. For the bottom.. You could try chilling it and see what happens. If it refuses to come out in one solid piece but is pretty much ok (the middle stuck and the rest came out ok) then you can put the middle of the cake back on and frost over it. If you are using a thick frosting then nobody but you will know that it ever stuck to the pan. Icing is a great disguise for cake mishaps!
If it is really bad you might need to start over.
If your cake is still hot, try to gently loosen the cake from the sides of the pan with a butter knife.
Then take a cookie sheet, put it on top of the pan and carefully flip the cake over onto the cookie sheet. Hopefully the cake wall fall on to the cookie sheet, then you can take another cookie sheet and do the same flip to get it back to the top.
If your cake is already cool, you will have to heat the pan again, not the cake, just the pan. Loosen the edges as stated above and flip the cake over onto the cookie sheet, but this time take a towel wet it down, wring it out slightly and put it in the microwave to get it hot (careful not to burn yourself when taking it out) then lay the towel on the bottom of the pan for awhile. I am not promising this will work, it may need to be done several times for the pan to become hot enough to make the cake pull from the pan with the use of gravity. (I have done this before and it worked for me). I wish you luck.
The simplest way is to leave it in the pan. Decorate as is, & cut individual pieces, using a spatula to get pieces out. In the future, grease & flour pan well or use baking parchment...
