I have a wedding cake baker as a friend and she gave me this type a few years ago. She sprays the bottom and sides of the pan and around the edge of the cake when she takes them out of the oven then she immediately flips them out on a cooling rack and wraps them up in plastic wrap to seal in moisture. The end of the cooking process lots of moisture is evaporating due to the heat. Her cakes always turn out moist so I adopted her methods. I also watch cake decorating shows and have seen other bakers spray the cakes with water, and on one website I found a recipe for 'spray' water that brings the water to a boil with a little bit of sugar and then you spray that on the cake. So apparently the professional bakes have some secrets :-)
