How do you wrap a cake tin?

Published in Baking Techniques 1 min read

Wrapping a cake tin is generally about lining it with parchment paper to prevent the cake from sticking. The reference video demonstrates a quick and easy method for lining a round cake pan using parchment paper.

Lining a Round Cake Pan

Here's how to quickly line a round cake pan using the method described in the reference:

  1. Prepare the Parchment Paper:
    • Start with a square piece of parchment paper.
  2. Fold the Paper:
    • Fold the square in half.
    • Fold it in half again.
    • Continue folding in half multiple times until you get a pointy triangle.
  3. Align and Trim:
    • Line up the pointy end of the triangle against the center of the cake pan.
    • Trim the paper along the edges of the pan.
    • Unfold and you will have a perfect circle.
  4. Fit into the Pan:
    • Place the circle into the cake pan.

This method uses the folding of the parchment to create a perfect circle to line a round cake tin which will prevent the cake from sticking and will make it easier to remove from the pan after baking.
