Some times it is necessary to line a cake tin to ensure that the cake turns out and to give it added protection during cooking. It is easy when you know how.
I use vegetable oil to grease my tins, but you could also use a little softened or melted butter.
Things we need?:
your tin
baking parchment or grease-proof paper
a pen
scissors
pastry brush
Draw around the base of your tin and cut out two circles of parchment.Lightly grease the base and the sides of the tin.
Cut a length of parchment long enough to go all the way around the edge of your tin. Fold it in half so that it is double thickness, then make a fold about 1.5cm deep along the length. Snip with scissors up to the fold at regular intervals. Cut a strip that’s 5cm taller to go around the tin. Make a fold 3cm along one long edge of the strip, then make a series of small cuts up to the fold.
Place snipped side down into the tin to line the sides.Place the circle of parchment on top and grease the bottom and sides.
