Even the most delicious and aromatic cake can fall apart when removed from the mold.

These tips will help the housewife remove the sponge cake from a silicone or glass mold quickly and without damage.

Why does the dough stick?

There are several reasons for the problem of baked goods sticking:

  • dough is too thin;
  • consistency is not viscous enough;
  • the pie did not have time to bake;
  • the walls were burnt;
  • incorrect oven temperature;
  • the form was not oiled or lined.

This is why it is important to follow the recipe. By adjusting the types and quantities of products, baking time and temperature, you can easily get an unpleasant surprise.

How to work with silicone molds

Silicone molds are recognized as the most convenient for baking. The elastic walls can be easily stretched by prying the edges of the cake with a wooden spatula. Also, the material does not require constant lubrication with oil.

Turning the cake over and hitting the bottom with a spatula is not the best solution. The upper part will most likely come off, but the lower part will remain. If you want to shake out a hot cake, lower the bottom of the pan into a bowl of cold water for a few seconds - the temperature difference will help the dessert “bounce”.

However, the best option is to wait 15-20 minutes for the cake to cool slightly. This way the dough won't settle, and you won't risk getting too burned.First, make sure that the bottom comes off well, then turn the cake over onto a plate and lightly tap the sides, moving from the bottom.

Advice from purity-en.htgetrid.com magazine
If the pie still falls apart, consider a thick filling that can “glue” the dough together: condensed milk, melted chocolate, custard, jam or preserves.

To ensure that the cupcakes are quickly removed from the molds, use paper blanks. They also make it convenient to enjoy baked goods outside the home.

If the edges of the cake are very burnt, carefully cut them off with a sharp knife. Do the same with the bottom part. If it is impossible to maintain the integrity of the cake, cut it directly in the mold into squares and take them out one by one.

We take out baked goods from glass and metal molds

Before pouring the dough, glass and metal containers must be greased with oil: vegetable or butter. Don't forget to coat both the bottom and sides. Additional protection is a layer of breadcrumbs, semolina or flour. For a crispy bottom crust of charlotte, use granulated sugar.

Advice
An alternative to butter is baking parchment.

A popular technique using heat is to either place the bowl containing the dough in a bowl of hot water or briefly wrap it in a damp towel. Due to the temperature, the metal of the one-piece mold will expand slightly, and the cake will be much easier to get out.

Try removing the cake by gradually tilting the pan 45 degrees. This way the baked goods will end up on the plate immediately bottom down. Hold the edges of the mold and shake it lightly, using a spatula or spoon to help.

Split forms

Housewives use springform molds to assemble cheesecakes, mousse desserts and other sweets without baking. They allow you to give all layers of the cake a clear structure.Keep the dish in the refrigerator so that the sand layer and cream harden. Do not rush, otherwise the layers will spread across the dish when removing the sides.

To assemble the dessert correctly, place the springform directly on the serving plate to avoid transferring the cake from the board and risking its structure.

Follow the recommendations in the recipe, take your time, act carefully, and then your culinary masterpiece will not suffer. And in the event of a break, impregnations and fillings will always save you.

    The hot water method saved me. While I was cooking, there was always something distracting me, either the children or the phone. And I forgot to grease the mold. I put it in the oven, started to clean the table and saw that the brush with which I greased the mold was clean. Luckily, I found this article. And I managed to pull out the pie without any problems.
