How do I keep a cake from tasting like the pan it's baked in?

I generally bake cakes in aluminum pans and just store them in the same pans for convenience. Sometimes I detect a metallic taste in the cake. Is there a baking solution for this or must I refrain from using metal cake pans?

aluminum pans, cakes, convenience, metallic taste

Wash the tins properly, then line them with parchment paper before using them in future. That way nothing sticks either !

You are eating aluminum. Get a good stainless steel pan. They are healthier.

Aluminum is very unhealthy that’s why they coat aluminum cookware for the stove and oven with stainless steel or ceramic. You can remove a cake from the pans as soon as they are cooled. You can freeze them after that. Once frozen the crumbs can easily be brushed off and you can frost it.
