On getting cakes out of pans- grease the bottom very well, then shake about 1/4 cup flour in it until bottom is solid white. shake out excess flour. Bake 9X13 or 8″ cakes exactly 30 minutes or until done in center. Cool 10 minutes and use knife around edges to loosen, then shake the pan from side to side until cake is loose from pan bottom. Place plate over cake and turn all over. gently lift off pan and let cool. If you want a cake to be moved to another pan, put5 a piece of waxed paper on plate. Freeze cake and when frozed move to desired plate and remove waxed paper. ice frozen and then cover with more icing when thawed an crusted to hide crumbs. DO NOt grease the sides of the pan as this makes cakes rise tall in center.

I waste more printing paper when I copy any of your recipes…why do I have to print all instead of just the recipe?

  Just click and drag over the specific area you wish to print and then choose print selection when the printer dialog box pops up, then print.

Isn’t there a print preview option on your computer so you can select only the pages you want? Check and see if you have that option. That is the option I always use to print only what I want.

  No it is pretty much like a regular cake but with the cinnamon and all it makes it especially nice for breakfast with a cup of coffee.

I was so happy to find this recipe. I had saved the email, but forgotten where I had seen it.
Bless you, Ladies (and Gent) for all your hard work. I’m always encouraged and inspired by your blog to “Live (Well) on a Dime.”

  Love the title Angie because so many people don’t understand that you can live well or even better it you are living within your means and are out of debt.

I am such a dinosaur….When I want to copy one of your great recipes, I get out a paper and pencil. No wasted paper. Being technologically challenged has some benefits.

  Join the crowd Mary Jane. I have a stack of scratch paper and pencil right by my computer and I copy everything down that way. I know I could store it some place on my computer but I can keep better track of it on the paper. I laugh at my kids and grand kids all the time because they are forever trying to remember where they put something on the computer. Me I know my recipes are by or in my recipe box. : ) For those of you who aren’t as ancient as Mary Jane and I and don’t know what scratch paper is it is used envelopes, partially used papers you don’t need any more. Growing up paper was expensive unlike now so we had good paper we used for important things and scratch paper for scribbles or unimportant things. I don’t mean to offend anyone but recycling now is really kind of laughable compared to the way we use to do it. We did recycling in it’s truest form,not because it was the ting to do but because we had no choice. : )
