Cake Pan Size Conversions
Trying to fit a square cake into a round pan? Find out how much batter you'll need.
- Compare that measurement to the volumes in our chart (or the cake pan size listed in your recipe) to determine how much batter you'll need.
- To ensure a cake rises evenly, you should only fill your pans to the half-way mark.
- The baking time may change as well, so it is imperative that you keep a watchful eye on your cake, and check for doneness using your preferred method.
- It's always better to have a little extra batter, rather than not enough. Once you've filled the pans half-full, use any remaining batter to bake a few cupcakes
