How to Grease and Flour a Cake Pan
Especially with lower-fat cake recipes such as this one, you’ll want a well-greased and floured pan to prevent the cake from sticking. A nonstick spray works just as well as a tablespoon or so of melted margarine or cooking oil. Coat the pan well, including the sides. Then, coat with a light dusting of flour, shaking the pan to cover all the edges.
