If you do not want to have the kitchen full of pots and molds, you can resort to tin cans to reuse and recycle them as a mold. The different sizes of the cans can be used to bake cake doughs, in the case of large cans, or muffins if we use a small tin. of peas. The important thing is that they do not have bumps and not that white plastic layer on the inside that many cans carry today. Let's see how to prepare and use the can as a mold.
Preparation:
1. We remove the outer paper from the can, wash it well and dry it.
2. We spread it well inside with butter, taking care not to cut ourselves with the inner edges. We can flour it a little. Another option is to line it with parchment paper. The butter helps it adhere better to the sides of the can. We cut a wide strip of paper for the wall of the can and a circle for the base. It is good that the paper sticks out a bit so that it holds the cake when it rises during baking.
3. Now the tin mold is ready to pour the dough. We should not fill the entire can, we will leave about two fingers. You can use any of our cake recipe. We cook in the preheated oven at the temperature and times indicated by the cake recipe, which as always is until we prick the cake with a toothpick and it comes out clean of dough.
4. Let cool before unmolding, turning the mold upside down, holding the cake.
