For square and rectangle pans, multiply the length of the sides. For example, a 9×13 inch baking pan is 117 square inches. 9×13 = 117. Now, what about that brownie or cake recipe that calls for a 9” square pan — which you don’t have? (Anecdotal information — i.e., I asked my friends — tells me that more people have an 8" square than 9" square pan.) Baking for a large or small group can be tough, particularly when you need a very specific size cake, or have an off cake pan size. Wilton is here to help make sure your cake is the right size for any party with this cake serving chart. Based on recommendations from our own test kitchen, we are to help you determine how many servings you’ll get from your cake, as well as how much batter and icing you’ll need to get the job done!

x 2-inch) deep dish pie plate; 1 (10-inch) pie plate; 1 (8-inch) square baking dish; 1 (9-inch) square baking dish Some 9×13 pans aren’t dishwasher-safe. You’ll need to wash them by hand using warm soapy water and a dishcloth. There are also models that are listed as dishwasher safe, but their product label states hand washing will extend the life of the pan.

So I’m going to make things simple for you: assuming you own the most common cake and bar pans, I’ll show you how to make just about any recipe fit what you already have — (almost) no volume measurements necessary. x 4-inch) loaf pans; 1 (9-inch) tube pan; 2 (9-inch) round cake pans; 1 (10-inch) Bundt pan; 1 (11 x 7-inch) baking dish; 1 (10-inch) springform pan

Remember, your 9” round pan’s capacity is 64”. Your 8” round pan’s, 50”. Divide 117” by 2 and you get 58.5” — which falls right in between the two round sizes. So which round pans should you choose?But if you’re familiar with the recipe, envision how high it rises in the 9” x 13” pan. Does it crown substantially over the rim of the pan — or does its top surface hover somewhere right at or below the rim? Cakes that are shorter than 3 inches would yield half the number of servings indicated for that pan. Buttercream Amounts for Cake Servings What if your Bundt pan is larger: say, 12-cup capacity? It’s fine to use; just understand the cake won’t get the entire top-to-bottom Bundt design, since it won’t rise all the way to the top of the pan. No kitchen is complete without a 9 x 13 pan. This versatile kitchen instrument is able to bake sweets and cook casseroles and side dishes. As you begin shopping for the best 9 x 13 pan, you’ll want to review everything from the construction materials to the extra features. inch Bundt pans are the standard size. I actually have several that are 9.5 inches and most Bundt cake recipes still fit.

First of all, if you don’t mind tweaking the recipe a bit you can increase all of the ingredients by 50% and bake it in a 9” x 13” pan (which is about 45% larger than a 9” square pan; increasing the recipe by 50% is easy, and close enough). inch springform pan holds 12 cups of batter, the same as a 10×2 inch square pan, 12×17 inch jelly roll pan, and a 9×3 inch tube pan. Lemon Bliss Cake transitions easily from this 10-cup Bundt pan version to a 9" x 13" pan, or 8" or 9" round pans. It was hard to decide specifically how to award this versatile baking dish, but at the end of the day, "best value" seemed like the right way to go. Why? First off, this glass dish has some of the biggest handles on the market, which can help any cook feel more confident maneuvering a piping hot, full pan from oven to table, even with bulky oven mitts. This is also great for folks with grip issues.A standard butter or oil cake recipe (about 6 cups of batter) can be baked in a 10-cup or larger Bundt pan. inch) Bundt cake pan; 2 (9-inch) round cake pans; 3 (8-inch) round cake pans; 1 (10 x 15-inch) jellyroll pan

In this list, you’ll find common baking pan measurements and the volume of batter they hold. *** The amount listed is the total amount of batter each pan holds, but you usually only fill cake pans halfway (unless otherwise noted in the recipe you are using). Most measurements were taken at my home kitchen. Cross referenced with the always trusted Joy of Baking, as well. Measurement Conversions Use Fine Crumbs:Finer crumbs will create a better binding texture, preventing your crust from crumbling. You can achieve this by using a food processor, or placing them in a plastic bag and using a rolling pin to crush them finely. Variations So, your old Fannie Farmer brownie recipe calls for a 7" x 7" square pan? Pull out your 8" round and go for it!For example, if a 9×13 inch pan is 117 square inches and a 9-inch round pan is 63.5 square inches, you can be confident that the volume from one 9×13 inch pan can fit into TWO 9-inch round pans (approximately 120 square inches total). But if you’re making a cake, it’s probably a sponge cake that really does need to bake in that specific 10” x 15” pan, since it’s almost certainly going to be rolled up into a log. Other pan combinations (two rounds? A round and a square?) just won’t cut it. If it’s a high-riser, your wise choice will definitely be 9” round pans. But if it looks a bit skimpy in the 9” x 13” pan, go ahead and try it in your 8” round pans; so long as they’re 2” deep (yes, measure them to be sure), you should be fine.
