Care of cake after baking
When cake has finished baking, remove it from the oven and put it on a wire cake rack, in the pan. This permits circulation of air around it and insures even cooling. Let it stand 10-15 min. Then gently loosen the cake from the sides of the pan with a spatula or knife, working carefully to avoid breaking edge. Place another rack on top of the pan, turn over, and lift off the pan. Then turn cake right side up on rack to finish cooling. When the cake is thoroughly cold, it is ready to be frosted. For frosting recipes and frosting suggestions, see pp. [11]-16.
