I think this has probably been the most commonly asked question in the last couple of months\u2026
\n\u201d I have just bought a football shirt \/ sphere \/ teddy bear shaped cake tin. Please can you tell me how much ingredients I need to use?\u201d
\nI use a simple formula which you can read more about in the post \u201cHow to adapt recipes\u00a0for different size cake tins\u201d\u00a0but in a nutshell you measure the amount of water the cake tin will hold in ml and divide or multiply that amount by the base cake ingredient. My base cake is a 6\u2033.
\nHelp! I\u2019m not big on maths?
\nThen it\u2019s a good job I\u2019ve worked it out for you. Having been asked such an array of sizes over the years I decided that it would be best to just work out a multitude of sizes and put them in a chart for reference. Now, I have calculated these quantities but I haven\u2019t baked them so the baking times are guestimates. If you bake one of these size cakes please let me know if the timing are out so I can amend the chart \u2013 thanks you guys.
\nHow to measure the volume of a cake tin
\nThe easy peasy steps<\/p>\n
If your tin has a loose bottom place a plastic bag in it. I use the white bathroom bin bags as they\u2019re big enough and don\u2019t have holes in the bottom like a supermarket carrier bag does.
\nFill your tin with water measuring as you go. I count out loud so I don\u2019t lose count. It\u2019s a trick I use when measuring ingredients too. Once I get to 6 I\u2019m bound to be interrupted!
\nKeep adding water till the cake tin is full up to around 1-2cm from the top.
\nWrite down how many ml your cake tin holds
\nCheck the amount against the volumes in the chart on this post.<\/p>\n
One more thing\u2026
\nIt\u2019s a good idea to use a firm cake like a Madiera cake when baking in a shaped tin as it will hold it\u2019s shape and be easier to decorate afterwards. Use this recipe as a base when working out how much you need.\u00a0
\nOnce you take the cake out of the oven allow it to cool for 5 minutes before tapping it out onto a cooling rack. A warm cake will come away from a tin easier than a cold one.\u00a0
\nMore Madiera you may like.\u00a0
