so all you baking mavens

I bought a new baking tray with twelve small molds for individual cakes, but they are deep

and hints on how to grease the molds so the little cakes come out whole?

I can’t put paper in as the molds are decorative

I was thinking lots of butter and then some flour to dust the inside

Olive oil spray.

That’s pretty much what I do for my mini bundts (6 to a tray). A silly amount of butter, and chill the tray so it stays outside the batter. No idea if this works non dairy. Maybe lard?

Unsalted butter + flour for sweet. Salted butter/preferred oil + flour for savoury.

That would be what I would do, after I wasted cutting baking paper and realising it won’t work lol

  ok, never knew abut the salted and unsalted choice 👍
  
  I might add a little fine sugar and cinnamon to the dusting flour, would that work?

    I think so, but sugar has a habit of caramelising and becoming stickier. I’d stick with flour, as I’d be worried about sticky melted sugar in the pan. But I think combined with flour, it should be okay - I’ve never tried it tbh
