Calculating cake tins

image_pdfimage_print

Cakes are baked in different sizes, so to make the cake have a suitable diameter according to your tin, I have put up a chart for calculation.

It means that you can convert cakes to your tin and to your need. You can make calculations from a smaller to bigger cake, as well as from a bigger to smaller one.

 

Calculation  from   from   from   from   from   from   from   from 
18 cm 20 cm 22 cm 24 cm 26 cm 28 cm 30 cm 32 cm
to 18 cm 1,00 0.81 0,67 0,56 0,48 0,41 0,36 0,32
to 20 cm 1,23 1,00 0,83 0,69 0,59 0.51 0,44 0,39
to 22 cm 1,49 1,21 1,00 0,84 0,72 0,62 0,54 0,47
to 24 cm 1,78 1,44 1,19 1,00 0,85 0,73 0,64 0,56
to 26 cm 2,09 1,69 1,40 1,17 1,00 0,86 0,75 0,66
to 28 cm 2,42 1,96 1,62 1,36 1,16 1,00 0,87 0,77
to 30 cm 2,78 2,25 1,86 1,56 1,33 1,15 1,00 0,88
to 32 cm 3,16 2,56 2,12 1,78 1,51 1,31 1,14 1,00

Calculation:

The chart is read from top to the bottom and from left to right. For example, if you have ingredients for a cake with diameter of 30 cm, and you want to make a cake with diameter of 24 cm, then you have to multiply ingredients from the original recipe with 0.64.

For example, if in a recipe for a cake with diameter of 30 cm, 300 g flour is written, then you calculate:
300 g flour x 0.64 = 192 g flour

If it is written 150 g sugar x 0.64=96 g sugar
If it is written 3 eggs (about 160 g) then it is calculated:
3 eggs x 0.64 = 1.92 eggs

If you weigh eggs (obligatory without shell) and use measuring unit g, then you calculate:
160 g egg x 0.64 = 102,4 g egg
All ingredients are calculated in this way.
