Probably a very silly question.

Hi CCers just wondering how most of you cool your cakes after baking? Do you take it out of oven and let it rest on a wire rack and when cool remove it from pan? Or do you invert it right after baking to cool? Thanks

Take out of oven and place pans on wire rack for 10 minutes. Then I use two cake boards to transfer cake from pan to wire rack. Cool another 5-10 minutes and wrap in plastic wrap.

I always turn them out of the pan after 10 minutes of cooling. If you let them cool completely in the pan, they are much more likely to stick because the oil/grease has had a chance to resolidify.

Most of the time I take them out of the pan and they're onto the cooling rack within 10 minutes of getting them out of the oven. I have been known to leave them in the pan and cover them with a towel overnight.

Leave to firm up 10 mins then flip onto rack. I learned the hard way that yep, if you wait too long, the fat does resolidify, as mentioned above, and you lose half your cake.

I let mine sit in the pan for 10 minutes, no more than 15 mins, then level if I have to and flip onto a wire rack. I let them cool for at least 2 hours before I start to do anything with them.

I let mine sit on a wire rack until I can touch the pan with my bare hands, then I flip. If it's a big cake I put another wire rack right over it and flip onto that so it always has support if its 10" or smaller I just flip the pan and hope it goes well.

I have learned after 20 plus years of baking (just BS baking, nothing fancy) to actually read the directions and do the 10 minute thing. I saw someone on here stressing it. and I havent lost a corner, a bottom, or anything else since then. LOL


I use bakers joy in my pan, unless its a tunnel of fudge (which I havent had in YEARS since they stopped selling them in East Texas...(???) ) then I grease and sugar the bundt pan..

mamawrobin...

When in the process do you level and torte? I have such trouble with that part... because when I set the cake on the counter so that it won't move around while I'm cutting, it ends up sticking something awful, and being over moist and gooey on that surface even when it wasn't before.
