Shake it! Side to side to start with. As it loosens, a little jump up and down and you know you have an unstuck cake. However, one should never use non-stick spray. After many years of baking - and having lived through the "trans fats are good for your heart" era and throwing out many nonstick pans due to gunk unremovable - butter is best. Plenty of it in the cool pan not long before pouring in the batter so it's sticking well in all the crevices. Bundt cakes are wonderful!
