I know I should know this, but...??

Flour lightly. How exactly...? It says to use a cooking spray and then flour lightly, but it's getting sort of clumpy and anyway, how do you flour the sides? GOD this is a dumb question.

In the past I've just... sort of... ignored that.

I just don't want to screw this up.  >.<

Ok, here's the gist of it.  Spray your spray on, including the sides. Don't overspray it, you don't want like little puddles of the spray, just mist the whole thing.  Dump in about 2 tbs of flour in the middle of the pan.  Shake it around so it covers the bottom of the pan completely, then turn the pan up on it's side, and slowly rotate it around so that it's like you are rolling it away from you.  Turn the pan upside down and tap it lightly on the bottom so that all the excess flour falls out.

spread margarine/butter thinly with either saran wrap, a paper towel, or your fingers; or use cooking spray and gently wipe it off with a paper towel (so you dont actually see droplets) then, put a small amount of flour in your pan and tip it to the side. next, otate it while tapping the side so the flour moves around and sticks everywhere.
if it clumps up you definitely have too much butter/margarine/spray.

Ah, I love Craftster. I got these replies as I was stirring the batter still, just in time to "lightly flour" before pouring.

<3 Thanks muchly.

A cake. A strawberry swirl cake. For my dad's birthday. And he's mad at me so it can't be screwy or they'll be further convinced that their lovely daughter's dumb, dumb mind is beyond repair.

And so far it's good. <3  I'm icing it.  I'll keep you updated, I know you're just glued to the screen.
