QuestionHow does a springform pan work?Community AnswerThe pan has two parts - a round or square base, and sides, all one piece. The sides fit into a small ridge on the edge of the base of the pan, and when you pull the tab on the sides toward the pan, it tightens slightly and forms a waterproof seal with the base. You base your item as usual, remove the pan from the oven, let it cool, then pull the tab away from the pan. This allows you to lift the sides of the pan and leave your baked goods resting on the pan base. It's most useful for things like cheesecakes, which are otherwise extremely difficult to remove from a pan.

I didn't and the cake didn't rise on the sides of the cake pan.Community AnswerThe greasing and the flouring of the pan isn't to help the cake rise, it is to keep the cake from sticking to the pan and making sure the outside of the cake doesn't burn. Using baking powder in the cake makes it rise because it causes air bubbles.
