If you're still like girllllll this is crazy, I dunno. You can parchment line the bottom of the pan but do NOT invert it becuase that will also cause the cake to collapse. Instead as soon as the cake comes out of the oven firm tap it against the counter from about 5 inches high. Which also sounds crazy and counter intuitive but it actually sets the structure of the cake- a little tip I learned from Hannah Ziskins chiffon recipe!
Since you invert the cake while it cools you don't want any parchment on the bottom of the pan either. Which I know feels scary- like how the heck am I gonna get this cake out of this pan!! bUT, run an off set spatula or paring knife around the edge of the pan to release the sides of the cake. Then with a bit of force hit the pan against the counter (I usually do this over plstic wrap) and the cake should pop right out :)
I've been looking for this recipe for years now! I made it as my birthday cake in 2022 and loved it to bits. Thanks for sharing again.
omg I love to hear this! I hope you make it for your next bday too (; ♡
noted about not greasing the pans or using nonstick. question tho: should bottom of pan be lined with parchment still?
