DIY CAKE RELEASE

A simple recipe for making your own cake release at home. Use it to grease your cake tins and never get a stuck cake again!
PREP TIME 15 minutes
BAKE TIME 1 minute

Ingredients
  

  • 110 g vegetable oil
  • 105 g Trex (or other brand of shortening)*
  • 65 g gluten-free plain flour

Instructions
 

  • Weigh all three ingredients into a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer if you have one.
  • Beat the ingredients together until you have a smooth paste.
  • Transfer the paste to a clean, sterilised jar.

Notes

  • You can use butter instead of shortening for your DIY cake release if you prefer. I choose to make mine with shortening because it is top 14 allergen-free and so I can use the one mix across all my bakes rather than having to make a separate batch for any dairy-free / vegan baking I am doing.
