Doris, are you greasing the pan with solid shortening or vegetable oil spray (not butter)? Butter can make cakes stick. Have you tried flouring it, as well? Are you loosening the cake's edges and turning the pan over to rest on a rack as soon as you take the cake out of the oven? If so, and your cake is still sticking, here's an insider tip that the pros use sometimes: grease the pan, then sprinkle with granulated sugar. You'd think the sugar would make the cake stick, but it actually works the opposite way, as it melted and helps the cake slide out of the pan (so long as you turn the pan over as soon as you take the cake out of the oven). Hope this works for you - PJH
