Should I Use a Silicone or Metal Pan for My Cake?

It’s one of the most frustrating moments in the kitchen. You followed the cake recipe perfectly. The timer goes off, the top is a beautiful golden brown, and a skewer comes out clean. You let it cool, turn it out, and… disappointment. The sides are pale, a little flimsy, and the texture just isn’t quite right. It’s dense where it should be fluffy, and it lacks that delicious, slightly caramelized crust.
