Also, can I use parchment paper instead of grease and flour?
Q When it says to grease and flour a baking sheet, can I always just use parchment? A The definitive answer is yes and no. Buttering and flouring is one way to be sure cakes won’t stick to the pan. Use parchment, or cheaper wax paper, to line the bottom of the pan, but you should still butter and flour the sides.

How do I make my springform pan not leak?

When using parchment paper do you grease it?
You do not need to put any grease or oil on the parchment paper. Cookies will slide off the paper if you pick them up with a spatula and a cake will come out of the pan easily. Parchment paper can be used for several batches of the same recipe being baked on the same cookie/baking sheet in a few batches.
Which way do you put the bottom on a springform pan?
The bottom of springform pans usually have dimples and a bit of a lip around the edge. Though technically you can face the bottom either way, professional bakers recommend dimple side down (concave side down). The reasoning is removing the cake will be easier without the lip in the way of your cake server.
Will cake batter leak in a springform pan?
