None. It’s been a long time that I made these and so even if I understood then I don’t now. The typical direction if there is any is to chill before baking to prevent lots of spread…

In my experience, you can hold dough in the fridge for up to around a week and still get good results. They will tend to spread and flatten less if you bake them from cold.

I need made a gluten-free dairy-free egg-free (nearly vegan) for a teacher lunch today. I used a King Arthur gluten-free yellow cake mix.
I’ll see how it was was received when I pick up the pan later.

More comments about spreading here.
A comment about bleached vs unbleached flour….
And a comment on flattening the dough ball before baking.
We are having a 7 hour planned power outage and I am “surfing”.

Somebody’s Birthday Cake (not mine).
Odette Williams’s Chocolatey Chocolate Cake. A half-recipe baked in the Nordic Ware Charlotte pan. The only modification I made was to add the equivalent of 1 t. Mozart chocolate liqueur to what would have been a full recipe.
For topping the served slices, I made a half recipe of Super-Thick and Fruity Food Processor Whipped Cream from Stella Parks. I used powdered, freeze-dried strawberries (something I keep on hand for making the Serious Eats Serious Strawberry Popsicle recipe). I upped the amount of fruit quite a bit (from the equivalent of 15 grams to 40 grams), and still the strawberry flavor came through only subtly, which is perfect for our tastes.
Some assembly required. I had a bit of the rim stick to the pan in one spot, and while I was able to get it back on the cake, it shows. Thus, you’re getting only half the picture.

He prefers cakes unfrosted (as do I), but usually is on board with some macerated fruit or whipped cream (or both) served on top. The pan is a good fit for us.

I have been so curious about that recipe. I don’t have a sweet tooth but I do love whipped cream.
I love it!
