Unmolding Gelatin Cake

When I have trouble unmolding my favorite gelatin cake, I turn it over onto a serving platter and drape the mold with a hot damp towel for a minute. This loosens the gelatin and it comes right out. —Alice Debus, Colville, Washington

I make this all the time for bake sales or school events. I make 6 cakes and all 6 sell fast for a good price every time. It is so easy to make and comes out of pan clean!
