My daughter is turning 2 on Tuesday. We are celebrating her birthday Sunday night with family and I am currently working on her cake. I am baking many cakes to make her a multi tiered cake. It is a lot of cakes! Instead of buttering and flouring each pan I have a ‘smear’ that I spread in the pans.
I combine equal parts of flour and shortening and use a paper towel to spread it in the pans. I have the cake release every time. Clean edges and not stuck cake!
I used my mini food processor to combine the ingredients and made a nice smear. Make a bunch and store it in an air tight container. No need to store in the fridge…there is nothing perishable in it!
