How do I get my cake unstuck?

Take a small butter knife or offset spatula and run it around the edges of the cake to loosen it from the sides of the pan. Flip the pan over and tap an edge onto a board while holding the pan at a 45-degree angle to pop the entire cake out. If that doesn't work, try this method on your frozen cake.

Why does a cake stick to the pan?

Turning a warm or hot cake out of a baking pan too quickly, will crack and fall apart. Cake layers that cool in the pan too long will stick unless lined with parchment paper. If your cake has cooled in pan and was greased with shortening & flour, this will cause the cake layers to stick in cake pans.
