Preheat oven to 350. Prepare two 8 or 9 inch round cake pans as follows – spray with cooking spray, dust with flour, and line bottom with parchment or waxed paper. Finally, encircle each pan with two large or three regular sized paper towels, still attached to each other, cut in strips wide enough to fold in half, dampened, lightly squeezed and paper clipped around the outside of each pan.
