Whether it is a quick bread or a pound cake, from-scratch baked goods are on a whole other level. Yet, things can go from easy to aggravating in no time flat due to improper pan lining. Luckily, this quick method is a foolproof way to cover all of the interior of a loaf pan without any crazy bumps or wrinkles in the paper.
TikTok user rose-amsterdam shows that all of those years of crumbled loaf corners are a thing of the past! Here, a simple bit of folding saves you the struggle of picking out cake crumbs from the far corners of the loaf pan.
Turn the loaf pan upside down and place a piece of parchment paper that is slightly longer than the loaf pan over on top. Press the side of the parchment paper up the side of the pan.
Next, fold the ends sticking out inward. It’s okay if they cross over. Repeat this on the other side.
Folding the parchment paper over the loaf pans gives you a parchment paper insert that fits like a glove.
The corners of the parchment lining are smooth, meaning you’ll loaf cake will come out clean with no lumpy, crumbled, or bumpy corners.
