What's the best way to transfer a cake from the baking pan to the plate?

When I bake a cake, I let it cool in the pan in which I baked it and then try to put it on a plate. I always oil the pan. However, sometimes, the cake will break up as I'm trying to transfer from cake to plate. Does anyone have any tricks that will prevent this from happening? I don't bake cakes much, but when I do, I'd like to prevent such mishaps.

Thanks

Turn the cake out while it's hot.
Put greased parchment paper on the bottom so you only have to worry about the sides sticking to the pan.
That's all I have, really. Hopefully somebody can give you more tips.

Hi, I actually line the tin along both the bottom and the sides with greaseproof paper and the paper on the side sticks out of the top. Then I just pull the top of the paper out with the whole cake inside it.

Hi kheng:)
once you let the cake cool, take a plate and put it on the top of the pan (the pan has to be upside-down). Now, rotate 180° the pan with the plate on the top: now the top of your cake will be down and its lower part will be up. Now take another plate and put it on the cake (the lower part, the only you can see:)) and rotate 180° again!
Pratically you shift the cake from the pan to plate (but it will be upside.down) and again from plate to plate (finally the cake will be in the plate in the right way).
I hope I could help you:)

Don't just oil the pan. You are missing the flour step.

For a video on how to prepare the pan go to:

It is also important to know how to remove the cake. There are videos that follow the above video with that information also. I know by following these directions, your cakes will be top notch. Happy baking.....

I use butter to make cakes. I use exactly I pan of butter, use the paper to buter the pan and then place the butter envelope upside down in th bottom. When it´s done, I help the sides with a thin knife and the turn it into a plate.

I used to bother with using parchment, but not anymore. Now what I do is to smear shortening on the sides and bottom, and then I put flour in and shake it around so the sides are all coated with that. Remove the excess flour by tapping it over the container (or another bowl.) If I'm using a purchased cake mix, I fix the pans first and use some of the dry mix (before preparing it) and dust it with that. I have never had a cake stick using this method...not even a bundt or fluted pan. When the cake is baked and cooled, I gently run a knife around the top, but only about a half an inch, just to break the seal where the cake bakes and sticks to the pan. Then I usually take a big plate, set it on top of the cake, and flip the whole thing over onto the plate. I decorate cakes a lot for family functions, and for other peoples festivities. I don't want a cake to stick to the pan ever!

I responded to another discussion today with this information and it's really easy. Take either parchment paper or waxed paper and cut a circle the same size as the bottom of the pan. Grease and flour the pan as usual and then put the paper in the bottom. Pour the batter in the cake pan; cook as usual and when it's done run a butter knife between the cake and the pan. Take the plate you wish to put it on...on top of the cake and invert the cake onto it....It will come out easily! Then just peel the paper off the bottom and frost as you would normally do.

I butter the pan and then put flour all over. Shake the pan letting the access flour off. The pan will have a nice covering of flour. Then when its finish baking I let it cool for maybe 5 minutes and than put a plate over it and turn it upside down. Gravity should let it fall when ready with no sticking. Good luck to you next time.
