  • Cool the cake with the pan upside down and elevated.

Notes

Any cake pan works with this recipe.  Make sure to use parchment liners for non-removeable cake bottom pans.  16-cup bundt cake pans or springform pans do not have to be lined, depending on the type of presentation.
 
Do not grease your cake pan, or the cake will fall out when cooling upside down. 
 
Cooling upside allows the cake to keep it's shape, and remain as fluffy and tall as possible.  Most cake recipes shrink in height or width when cooling.
