    Have you ever had a cake stick to the pan before? If it happened to you, then trust me, using my homemade cake release recipe will guarantee you the most perfect muffins, cakes, and breads every time you bake!

    Baking is one of my hobbies and I got this passion from my Mum! I’ve been into baking since I was a little girl. So when in 2021 I had my first cake sticking in the pan, I immediately asked my Mother, my Grandmother, my Aunts, and close friends to see what I was doing wrong.

    Then, one of my baker friends recommended using this homemade cake release with Crisco instead of baking spray. Honestly, I can’t thank her enough because it was a huge winner! And since then I use it all the time! Get ready to have the best homemade cake release recipe ever!

    5 Reasons to Love This Recipe

    Firstly, it saves money on buying the spray!

    Secondly, it will prevent your baking from sticking to the pan!

    Thirdly, it is so easy to make.

    Also, it makes a large amount and can last for a long time!

    Serving Ideas

    Using cake release on your pans is so simple! All you need to do is dip a pastry brush into the cake goop mixture and brush it onto your pans using a silicon pastry brush.

    Also make sure you use this easy homemade cake spray with some of my favorite cake recipes below:

    Lemon Pound Cake, Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake, Double Chocolate Zuccini Bread, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Bundt Cake.

    Store it in a glass jar or container and make sure it’s airtight.

    Yes, you can cut the recipe in half.

    It lasts for 3 months at room temperature or 6 months in the fridge.


    Ideal Baking Spray

    This homemade cooking spray will guarantee you the most perfect muffins, cakes, and breads every time you bake!
    You will have the best cakes with this homemade spray!

    Simple Ingredients

    Crisco

    Cooking Oil

    All Purpose flour


    Easy Directions

    Homemade cake release consists of a simple ratio of equal parts flour, vegetable oil, and shortening. I use a half cup of each, but you can make as much or as little as you like!

    So, combine all three ingredients in a bowl and mix well. At first the mixture will look lumpy, but you really need to whip it well to get all those lumps out. You can do this by hand or use a mixer.

    You can store this homemade cake release in glass mason jars.
