Silicon baking 'tins'

[LakeFlyPie]

I used silicon baking moulds to bake a Victoria sandwich and the mixture stuck to the bottom of each 8 inch 'tin' resulting in a very thin but otherwise nicely cooked cake!

I thought they were supposed to be stick proof so didn't used baking paper or grease the moulds.

I did put them on a baking tray rather than straight onto the oven shelf and wondered if this is where I went wrong.

Any advice would be gratefully received.

TIA

mine do this sometimes - I've put it down to either taking the cakes out of the oven a couple of minutes too early or taking them out of the tins too early.

Thanks, didn't realise I should have let them cool in the moulds first?

How long roughly?

20 mins? i tend to wait until they are cool when you lay the palm of your hand on the top of the sponge. Give the silicon tin a little bend when you first get the cake out though to make sure it doesn't stick to the sides

I take mine out pretty much straight away and they never stick. I wonder if putting it on a baking tray caused it?

Also my mould is huge so I tend to make one big cake in it (4 eggs) and cut it in half. Not sure if that makes a difference
