Help me bake a cake! Please!

Ya I think this thread has inspired me to go acquire a Bundt pan and make that sour cream cake

Put a clean empty can or cup in the center of your springform pan and you've got a tube pan. If you don't want to try that, just keep an eye on the edges and cover with foil if they brown before the center is baked.

Vegemite, love your 4442, going to try it!

I usually dust cakes with powdered sugar or do the simple powdered sugar and water (or milk) frosting. Sometimes add cinnamon. I like how that frosting melts down the side of cakes too:

Jaq THANK YOU, that would not have occurred to me!

Pound cake can definitely be made in a springform - that's the cake i grew up making and we never had a bundt pan.

and we'd never thought of Jaq's amazing can trick either-- brb, making so many fancy cakes.

Fucking cake is in the fucking oven. It was hell. God I hate baking.

We are so proud of you though!

Awww that is sweet, I'd bake you a cake anytime Stevie but I'd rather go out for awesome chinese food ;)

yay quincie!

Stupid cake is too brown on the top (not burned but def over-brown); hope it comes out of the pan OK and I serve it ass end up.

Can always gently slice the top off

^^ secret reason for the invention of frosting

troo

You did it!!!!!!!!

We'll see how it tastes. I really admire those of you who bake willing, cheerfully, and successfully!
