How to know how much of batter you need for each different cake tin size
Fill your original cake tin say you have been using a 8 inch round tin for a particular recipe.
Say a chocolate cake, pour water into this pan, the same height you would do your cake batter and pour this into a 12inch cake pan. See how much water that pan holds. pour from the 8 inch tin into the 12 inch tin – do not fill up to the top as this will rise. So multiply your cake by the number of times you need to fill the water to the different size tin.
