Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes after removing it from the oven. Invert the pan: Place a plate over the top of the pan and carefully invert the pan so that the cake falls onto the plate. If the cake doesn't come out easily, gently shake the pan or tap it on a counter to help release it. Release any stuck areas: If any areas of the cake are still stuck to the pan, use a knife or offset spatula to gently loosen them.
