  1. Unless you have a very sturdy cake recipe to begin with, there are NO SUCH THING AS NON-STICK PANS.
    .....I wish there were.
    Th finer the cake, the more disasterous the tear.
    Pros (25 years in Country Club kitchens here) use parchment paper circles to line the bottom of cake pans.
    I personally butter(spray)and flour cake pans and then place a circle of parchment paper in the bottom of the cake pan and then butter and flour the paper.
    Parchment paper circles.....?
    Either draw circles on parchment paper using the bottom of the cake pan as a stencil and cut those out with scissors, -or-
    The local cake decorating shop is nice enough to sell me a dozen or so pre-cut parchment cake circles for about $1.00 a dozen. They're worth every penny!
    Be sure to 1. loosen cake from sides of pan with a thin knife immediately upon removing from oven.
    and 2. let cake cool IN PAN for 10 minutes before inverting onto COOLING RACK. REMOVE
  2. here's the original recipe by the inventor of the molten lava cake (as made in america)

  3. are you letting them cool long enough before turning them out?
