The damp tea towel
Lay a clean dishcloth flat in the sink and leave something boiling water run over it. Now place the cake and its shape (with the bottom down!) On the tea towel, wait a few seconds and then pounce the cake again.
Some hobby bakers also swear by wet, cold dishclothPut on the mold for five minutes. They claim that the cake then automatically falls out of shape.
The freezing shock

Prevention: You should do this BEFORE baking
So you do not even get into the situation that you can not solve your cake from the mold, you can make a few steps BEFORE baking.
1. Grease the mold particularly thoroughly
Use for it soft or even liquid butter and take Butter paper or a brush to help evenly cover the mold with grease and also to reach any small furrow or filigree pattern.
Also cooking spray can be helpful, but here you should only apply a very thin layer. In no case forget to grease the "Mittelstrunk" of the Gugelhupfform also thoroughly.
2. Spread the form with breadcrumbs, flour or bread crumbs
The flour sticks to the butter. So you'll see right away if butter is still missing somewhere. A special feature of chocolate cake: Use cocoa powder instead of flour to spread the shape. Before you fill the dough: tap excess grit thoroughly.
