In this post, Im sharing myeasyway to line cake pans with paper.
No drawing outlines then cutting out rounds.
Its really quick and easy.
How to line a cake pan (easily!)
Heres how I do it:
Tear off a sheet of baking paper / parchment paper.
Fold it in half.
Then fold in in half again.
Then keep folding until you form a long pointy triangle.
Measure it against the cake pan with the pointy end in the middle of the pan.
Then snip the end off.
Unfold andvoila!Look at that, a near-perfect circle base for your cake-pan.
Press into the base.
Then tear off strips of paper and stick to the walls.
My 20cm / 8 cake pan requires 2 full length strips plus a scrap to patch up a gap.
I hope you find this useful.
I have 20cm/8 ones and 23cm / 9 rounds.
I purchase mine online.
Though to be honest, weirdly, I default to cutting my own.
Its just habit!.
I thought I was so clever, and I applauded myself for coming up with this handy hack.
But a quick search online showed its been done by professionals and home cooks forever.
In my mind, I was the pioneer of this!
