Re: parchment paper and baking

@Mom2DogsHaving taught Foods and Adv. Foods, The parchment would have to be pleated around the corners.  I'd leave about 10 inches out of each end so you will have enouch to grip and raise up.  

 

This is the method I use with bar cookies at Christmas.  I lift them out to a cutting board right next to them.  Everything cuts perfectly.

Re: parchment paper and baking

You might also try Reynolds Wrap Pan Lining Paper. It has aluminum foil on one side and parchment paper on the other side. The parchment paper is the side that would touch your cake. The addition of the foil might add more weight to help you lift the cake out. The heaviest thing I’ve used it for is to lift an inch deep of bbq sauce and pan drippings from a 13 x 9 pan of ribs. It lifts right out without a mess. It’s not an apples-to-apples comparison, but it might work.

Re: parchment paper and baking

I wouldn't worry about the corners

I would cut the paper 9 x 20 and lay it flat across the 13" part

Since you will be cutting it, maybe 2 pieces of parchment.

Pull out half the cake, then the other half

 

Me personally, I would try to double flip without the paper.

 

Let it cool a bit, put plastic wrap firmly on the top, flip, then flip again

Do you have a cutting board big enough?

First flip with the cutting board.

 

Not sure why you can't do your cutting in the pan.

Re: parchment paper and baking

It can be tricky but I've done just this and it can work. 

 

Fully cooled would be my recommendation before removing.

 

And having a second set of hands wouldn't hurt if you can as well.

Re: parchment paper and baking

What's wrong with the traditional way of getting a cake out of a pan (using wire racks)? It's super easy!

Re: parchment paper and baking

Why not just buy a disposable pan and you don't have to worry about getting it out or getting your own pan back.

@Mom2Dogs   .....  It depends... If you are lifting it out, it could easily shift and break.  If you are turning it upside down, it will be easier.

It will come out if you line the pan in both directions.

I do it all the time, I love parchment paper.

Just neatly fold or pleat the paper into the corners.

If it is a very heavy cake you can fold the long length of paper in half to give you extra support.

Just make sure the cake is cool.

This is a great tip for lemon bars too!

If you are nervous about lifting it out, you can turn the cake out on to a platter.  It will come out easily with the parchment paper.

 

EDIT:

ooops I just saw the crumb topping, so turning it out is not an option.

Re: parchment paper and baking

I like to use parchment paper.  However, one of the best (and easiest things to use) is called "Cake Release" sold by Wilton's.  I usually get it at Michael's Crafts and/or JoAnn Fabric and craft store.
