Flouring after you grease doesn't actually add much time or labor; in fact, it would probably take longer to cut the parchment paper to size. That said, parchment paper is kind of miraculous!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8435777.post-48071800791098732112008-08-08T18:16:00.000+03:002008-08-08T18:16:00.000+03:00I'm glad that you posted this...now I can try to b...I'm glad that you posted this...now I can try to bake a cake without it sticking!

I have this stuff I use to freeze meat and roll out pie crusts with - I think it is called 'baking' paper. Would that be the same thing?<BR/><BR/>Rositta - I hadn't even thought of flouring. I knew there was one thing I should have remembered (but I'm a lazy baker, and every time a recipe tells me to grease AND flour I groan a little bit). Parchment paper sounds easier, and cleaner though!melusinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04096116965055620488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8435777.post-60853610536000226142008-08-08T10:38:00.000+03:002008-08-08T10:38:00.000+03:00LOL- I was going to say the same- but don't let th...LOL- I was going to say the same- but don't let that stop you from making the cake over and over!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8435777.post-40821689001317922972008-08-06T15:01:00.000+03:002008-08-06T15:01:00.000+03:00Why wouldn't you get parchment paper in Greece?Any...Why wouldn't you get parchment paper in Greece?<BR/>Anyway, yes, parchment paper is the solution, I use it for everything that involved baking.

Some pans are a real pain in the b...!<BR/><BR/>You said that have tried greasing. I don't recommend flouring simply because it looks unsightly when there is flour on bottom of the cake. Have you tried cutting a circle of parchment paper cut to the dimensions of the pan? After greasing the pan, line the base with the cut out circle of paper. It will come out easily from the pan but you will have to literally peel the parchment from the cake. You won't have to line the sides of the cake pan because you can run your knife around the cake pan and dislodge the cake like that. <BR/><BR/>I hope this helps somewhat. There are many, many vegan cooking blogs out there. You could always swap your current cake recipe for another one :)<BR/><BR/>I took the liberty to provide you with one of my recently discovered favorite vegan blogs: "FatFree Vegan Kitchen." This is a recipe for chocolate orange bundt cake. You can substitute apple sauce for the vegan yoghurt. <BR/><BR/>I haven't made this before but I have made other recipes from this blogger and they are delicious!<BR/><BR/>http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2007/12/chocolate-orange-cake.html<BR/><BR/><BR/>Good luck!<BR/>PopiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
