Take another long strip of parchment paper and wrap it along the buttered sides of the pan. [substeps] Leave a few inches of parchment paper sticking up and out from the sides of the pan. Use a knife to score out an indentation in the parchment paper. Roll out the sides of the pan using the knife to ensure they're flat. [substeps] There will also be a foam around the pan when you assemble the cake mix, so you'll want it about 6 inches (15 cm) thick. This will make the cake mix even more basic, and will make it easier to pour into the pan during cooking. You can also line it with aluminum foil or muslin to protect it from the heat of the oven. [title] Spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray.
