Am I the only one who spent three hours trying to get a cake out of a pan?

I made a lemon bundt cake for my mom's birthday, greased the pan like crazy, and it still stuck so bad I had to chip it out in pieces. It took me almost an hour to scrape and clean the pan after that. Does anyone have a trick for non-stick bundt pans that actually works?

Try chilling the cake in the freezer before flipping it.

The freezer trick works, but I also started using a butter and flour paste instead of just greasing. You mix soft butter with flour until it's a paste, then brush it into every crevice. I had the same disaster with a bundt pan, spent a full afternoon scraping that thing. Now I do the paste thing and also let the cake sit for exactly 10 minutes after baking before I flip it out. Hasn't stuck since. The paste is the key part though, just greasing never cut it for me.
