Brilio.net - Using flour to coat a cake pan is a common method used to prevent the dough from sticking to the surface of the pan after baking. This technique is often applied by spreading a thin layer of margarine or butter on the pan, then sprinkling flour evenly. Although this method is effective in making the cake easy to release after cooking, there are some negative impacts that can result from using flour as a coating.
One of the negative effects is the possibility of uneven flour clumping, especially if not applied correctly. This clumping can cause the surface of the cake to be uneven and less visually appealing. In addition, flour that sticks to the pan can burn during the baking process, resulting in brown spots on the bottom of the cake . This not only affects the appearance of the cake, but can also change the texture and taste.

This side effect of using wheat flour has also been experienced by Instagram user @lisaarbake. The cake maker named Lisa also revealed that wheat flour should not be used to coat cake pans. She admitted that the white spots caused by wheat flour tend to be annoying.
"In addition, the outside of the cake feels sandy or not dry," said Instagram @lisaarbake as quoted by BrilioFood on Monday (16/9).

Instead, Lisa shows another trick when molding cakes so that they don't stick to the pan. In the same video, she reveals a safe way is to use parchment paper and butter. In addition to preventing the dough from sticking, parchment paper and butter will not ruin the taste or even the appearance of the baked cake.

Meanwhile, grease the sides of the baking dish with butter. Only then pour the mixture and bake or cook until cooked.
Having been watched more than 955 thousand times, this baking trick video immediately caught the attention of netizens. Many other Instagram users then gave their responses directly through the comments column. Most of these netizens considered that the trick could indeed make the appearance of the cake smoother and more beautiful.
"It really happened yesterday using flour exactly as stated," explained Instagram @zarahamidah.
"That's right, I also use baking paper," said Instagram @ira.oka.ida.
"I used to often use flour sprinkles, but the result was not a good cake crust, often with skin, since I found out about fake Karlo, I just use fake Karlo, the result is good, the cake doesn't have a skin," said Instagram user @irmayantidodi.
"That's right, sis... also from personal experience, now I just use baking paper... it's safe," wrote the Instagram account @wms_homecooking.
"I'm on the team that never uses flour... I only use butter... because I don't think it's good if I use flour," commented the Instagram account @aies.n.
