I use the oil spray that has flour.

I flip it on to a plate straight out of the oven, and let it cool before I lift the pan to release the cake.


This is exactly what I was going to say

I take big square of parchment paper, cut an x in the middle and cover the inside of the pan. Comes right out

Does it have a nice even shape with the paper?

You need to flip it out of the pan 5-10 minutes after it's taken out of the oven. Flip it too soon and it will fall apart; wait too long (more than 10 minutes), and the sugars against the bottom of the pan will cool and crystalize, making the cake stick and hard to remove from the mold.

I just got a wonderful tip, and it works!! When you start baking, spray bundt with flour/oil spray and STICK BUNDT PAN IN FREEZER. When cake is done mixing, remove pan from freezer and fill bundt pan. place in oven. I turn it over as soon as I take out of oven and slides out beautifully.

So interesting! Want to try it next time because I never had good experience with flipping it when hot.

Another vote for using a plastic knife to get it out. Only when it's almost completely cooled if not completely cool though.

One other thing, are you using a complex shaped pan? I had a rose pan that was a wedding gift. It's utterly impossible to remove a cake from, and even harder to clean. I think I gave it away (actually I hope so because otherwise it's just taking up valuable space that I don't know about). I only use a regular bundt pan.

Any advice I have is probably just going to echo what others have said. But my father was a professional baker and this is what he taught me:

The pan matters. Don't use a light cheap pan from the supermarket, use as heavy duty of a bundt as you can find. It's a worthwhile investment because you get such good use out of it.

Grease it thoroughly, including all the crevasses, with a good grease like crisco, and flour lightly (use cocoa powder instead if making a chocolate cake). Aggressively tap out all excess powder. You can also use a combination product like Bakers Joy.

Leave to cool ten minutes, then invert on to a plate. Do not cool completely or else the grease resolidifies and defeats the whole purpose. Don't flip when too hot because the cake is too delicate and will fall apart. Also you want the cake to "fall out" as little as possible so hold a plate against it, don't invert onto a lower surface.

If you feel it is not coming off the pan, use a very small flexible spatula to slide along the sides, gently separating it, then try again to invert onto a plate.

The combination of all of the above gives me a perfect bundt every time (and yes I tried testing the rules/cheating, and paid dearly in cake crumbles).

Yup. This is exactly how I do it.

I never had a problem so far

Nordicware bundt pans are excellent

silicon bundt pan. I have one and it is just not even an issue.

Only problem with it is that pan can get misshapen in oven so you have a leaning cake so just be careful when putting it in..

Going forward, definitely use spray with flour.

Cooks Illustrated has a tip for chocolate cakes which I can't look up now: to brush the pan with melted margarine and cocoa.

ETA: I see Teomima mentioned the cocoa earlier.

UPDATE: so I'm not so magical after all... 🤦‍♀️ just checked the co. of my bundt pan and its a nordic ware

My DD came up with this trick
Grease pan with coconut oil
Then put the pan in the freezer and let the coconut oil harden
Some how this works and her bunt pans come out clean

Yes! I think I was one of those on that thread that advised nordicware.
For years, I tried every trick, with multiple pans, and nothing ever worked.
When I finally bought a nordicware pan, ta da, problem solved.

I have tried every Bundt pan including Nordic ware
The only pan that ALWAYS releases beautifully is the disposable aluminum tins
So now I just buy those
Same for muffins

I use a Nordic ware Bundt pan and rarely had a cake slide out whole. No matter what I did. Until I found a recipe online (I don’t have it in me now) that had crisco and flour, something else too I think, in it. Coat the pan and viola the cake comes right out!
