Why does this recipe call for turning the cake upside down in the baker?

In summary, the conversation was about a recipe that called for turning a dish upside down and leaving the cake inside the baker to cool. The purpose of this was to prevent the cake from drying out and sinking, particularly if it was an Angel Food Cake. Some of the participants had never heard of this technique before and were curious about the logic behind it. The recipe was found in a July 4th recipe flyer and possibly in the Celebrate cookbook on page 116.

:confused: I was just wondering about this recipe and why it says the following: "Carefully turn dish upside down onto cooling rack; cool completely. (Do not remove cake from baker.)" I haven't tried it yet but was wondering what the purpose of turning it upside down was if we are to leave it in the baker???????
 
The only thing I can think of is GRAVITY or MOISTURE. Leaving it in the baker and upside down would keep the cake from both drying out and sinking back in on itself. :)
 
I'm not looking at the recipe - is it Angel Food Cake? If it is, then that would make sense......if you move it around too much before it is completely cool - it will fall and be flatter than pancake, and also be chewy and tough - not what you want from an Angel Food Cake. Turning it upside down will also help keep it light and "fluffy" while it cools.
 
I wondered the same thing! I saw the recipe, and was wondering what the logic was there!
 
I have never heard of that! What recipe was this on??
 
out of ingredientI was supposed to make this receipe for my sons play group, but I realized at the last minute that I didn't have the angel food cake. So instead of going to the store last minute, I used streawberry cake. Everyone loved it and it!
