I feel your frustration, Rachel! It's a little tricky to tell without seeing the pan, but my guess is that over time, whatever you used to grease the pan dripped down the sides into the bottom everytime you baked. Over time, the bottom developed a bit of a skin that's really, really, difficult to get off, and can be hard to see. Everytime you bake, that bottom skin heats up and sort of glues the cake to itself. The best thing to do is give that pan a good soak. We find that Dawn Power Dissolver does the absolute best job. You spray it all over, let it sit, then wash it, repeating the process if necessary. If you're not able to get that product, the next best thing, in my opinion, is baking soda and vinegar. Sprinkle the pan with baking soda and spray vinegar over the surface with a spray bottle. Scrub, rinse, and repeat as needed. I hope this helps and that your Crown Bundt will be cooperating again for you soon! Annabelle@KAF
