cake sticking to bottom of cake pan!

Baking a 2 layer cake - took both pans out of the oven, let them cool for 5 minutes, per recipe instruction, inverted cakes onto wire rack and most of the bottom stuck to pan, and cake was falling apart. Please advice, I am starting from scratch:(. I did butter both pans and dusted with cocoa powder. Baking Dorie Greenspan Chocolate chocolate cake:)

I would echo Stephanie’s good advice and go further and say that, regardless of what the instructions are, I would almost always use parchment in the pan prep.

Try cutting parchment paper rounds and put those in the bottom of your cake pans, and oil/cocoa dust those. Save the first attempt for a trifle or similar?
