Your cake might be getting stuck due to insufficient greasing or flouring of the pan, or trying to remove it too soon before it cools down. To prevent this, generously coat your pan with butter or non-stick spray, and dust it with flour or use parchment paper. Also, ensure your cake is fully cooled before attempting to remove it from the pan. Allowing it to sit for about 10 minutes on a wire rack before removal can make a big difference.
