Using your Homemade Cake Release

To use your cake release, simply use a pastry brush to brush an even layer over the inside of the cake tin. You may choose to still line the bottom of the tin with a baking paper disc. Then just pour in your cake batter and bake! If you are using a detailed cake tin, just make sure to get your cake release into every nook and cranny!
