This is a very handy guide for adjusting cake recipes based on the pan size! It shows the perfect balance of eggs, flour, and sugar needed for different cake diameters to keep the texture and taste consistent.
Here’s a quick summary for easy reference:
| Pan Diameter | Eggs | Flour (g) | Sugar (g) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15 cm | 4 | 120 | 120 |
| 18 cm | 5 | 150 | 150 |
| 20 cm | 6 | 180 | 180 |
| 23 cm | 7 | 210 | 210 |
| 25 cm | 8 | 240 | 240 |
Why it works:
- As the cake pan gets bigger, you need more batter to fill it properly.
- Increasing the eggs, flour, and sugar proportionally keeps the cake moist and balanced.
- This way, you avoid dry cakes or overly wet batter.
