How do I prepare my baking pans?
Preparing baking pans
When baking chocolate cakes or brownies, instead of using
flour which will affect the appearance of your finished
product, use unsweetened cocoa powder.
Grease the pan as usual and dust with the cocoa powder.
It blends right in and your cakes won't stick!
You can also use sugar instead of the traditional flour.
This will provide a "crisper" outer crust on your baked
goods. This technique is often used when baking sheet cakes.
