I'd like to bake a cake directly in a nondisposable pan without using parchment paper. The pan is a certain shape and I wouldn't want to lose the design.

Do I need a specific recipe or is there a method of greasing the pan that won't affect the design and texture of the cake?

I am a bit clueless when it comes to baking.... embarrassed

It's not a problem you just have to use the oil/ flour spray before you put the batter in. That ensures that the cake will slide out well when it's cooled off and done.

Spray the pan with baking spray.

I would spray with Pam and then dust it with flour as well (if it’s a choc cake you can dust with cocoa powder).

Baking spray with flour. It's the only thing that gets perfect fancy Bundt cakes in my experience. You can just grease and flour, but the spray gets into the crevices much better.

I was going to say the same thing.

Thanks so much for the replies.

So to clarify I need to spray and flour the pan before pouring in the batter, correct?
Does it make a difference if the cake is a fluffy cake vs a more dense cake?

Yes, spray and flour the pan, then add the batter. I don’t know of any different techniques for fluffy vs dense cakes.

I believe there’s an oil spray that has flour in it

If it's a chocolate cake use cocoa instead of flour. That way you won't get white marks on the cake

if a cake is more fudgy you have to worry less about it sticking verses a dry cake which is more likely and should probably get even more oil spray to make sure not a single spot sticks and ruins your shape.

I use the baking spray that has flour

The cakes come out nicely from the pan all the time. It helps when I bake a bundt cake to keep the shape. Recently I used it to bake a cake in a heart shaped pan and it worked so well.
