cake fail

[deird1]

This is why I should never be allowed to cook things:




Note how half the cake is out of the tin, and the other half is still inside...

Last time this happened I had to dig out the remaining chunks, stack them on top of each other, and call it "tumbled butter cake" to fool people into thinking it had been intentional.

Not sure what I'll do this time.

ETA: How the heck do you get photobucket photos to not take up way too much room on the screen? I resized it and everything...

I agree with the trifle suggestion. Cube the cake, layer with pudding and whipped cream, and if you have a big glass dish do it there so people can ooooh and aahhh. Simple!

Since this happens to you now and then, my beloved book How to Repair Food suggests setting the pan (fresh from the oven) on a towel that's been soaked in cold water and then wrung out. Or just wrap pan and cake in a dry towel for five minutes and let the steam loosen things up. Baked goods always benefit from 5 minutes of resting after the oven to get them loose before trying to remove from a pan.
