Baking with Cardboard cake rounds

[SusieQQQ]

Hello,
Can you cover a cardboard cake round with foil to use in the bottom of a springform pan to bake a cheesecake? Thank you.

Yes, I have done that many times to raise up the crust so it's easier to remove from the pan. Encase the entire round in foil. I cut just a pinch of cardboard off all the way around so it fits snugly in the bottom of the springform pan. Even better than springform pans are Magic Line cake pans with removable bottoms. That's all I use now, I ditched my springform pans years ago for making cheesecakes.

No. It is extremely dangerous to place cardboard in the oven. It it highly combustible, so you risk an oven fire.

Burning of cardboard and paper in fireplaces, campfires, and fire pits is discouraged because the chemicals used to produce it creates toxic fumes.

Also cake rounds are often coated with waxes. The wax will melt in the oven.

If you want to transfer the cheesecake to a cake board, place a parchment paper round inside the bottom of springform pan.

After the cheesecake is completely baked and chilled, remove the ring. Then slide a cake lifter under the parchment paper and lift the cake off of the springform pan bottom and transfer it to a cake round.

Yes, you can cover a cardboard cake round with foil to use as a base in a springform pan. Just make sure the foil is smooth and tightly wrapped around the cardboard so no moisture gets through. This can help provide a bit of extra support and prevent any potential leakage. Just be sure that the foil doesn’t touch the cheesecake batter directly, as it might affect the baking process. Enjoy baking your cheesecake!
