It really depends on what kind of cake you are going to bake; for old fashion fruit cakes that require long baking time, grease and flour the entire pan. For sponge cake or genoise cake, line the bottom of pan with parchment paper circle. For angelfood cake, never grease the pan and most important: Never try non-stick angelfood cake pan. Hope I answer your question. Happy baking, Chef Clarence, BC Canada Buon Appetito

TextText Since we are on the topic, instead of greasing cake pans with butter and flour, we use a homemake pangrease: Cream 1 cup of shortening, add 1/2 cup of all purpose flour and blend well, keep cover at room temperature. Brush cakepans and loafpans thoroughly with pangrease before adding cake batter and the cakes and bread should release effortlessly. **Do not melt the pangrease! Buon Appetito
