How do you get a cake out of the pan?

First, run a table knife around the inside perimeter of the baking pan, then place an inverted dinner plate on top and turn both over and set the dinner plate on the counter. The cake should fall out easily, providing that one sprayed the pan before placing the cake batter in it prior to baking.

The other "trick" is to not let the cake cool completely before removing it from the baking pan - perhaps just after a 20-30 minute cooling.
