Sizes - Small chilli - 31-03-2021
Whenever I make a cake. Which isn’t that often. I never have the right size tin, not ever! It’s infuriating.
Anyone suffer from this?

You need more kitchen equipment.
RE: Sizes - Veggie - 31-03-2021
Nope. never have that problem............................probably because I don't make cake.

I try to avoid making the kind of cake where tin size is critical. Also, I really only ever make banana bread or courgette bread, and my two sizes of loaf tin suffice for those.
RE: Sizes - JJB - 31-03-2021
Nope, don't have that problem as I've got far too many cake tins and more often than not I can convince myself the batter will fit in another shape/size. Although I had to buy a bundt tin recently as I didn't have an alternative.

I had one tin which was rectangular for making a small loaf. I recently bought a round tin from Aldi cheaply,with a loose bottom. I haven't tried it yet.
Two cake tins are deffo enough for me.

I also have a contraption that builds into almost any square shape you can think of, especially for Christmas/wedding cake. Definite overkill.

I know this isn’t much help but I remember seeing a website that had substitute cake tin sizes listed from square to round to loaf.

I just make the cake fit the tin generally. Both my sister and I use the same Christmas cake recipe, but mine ends up much smaller but taller than hers. They both taste great. On one occasion when I had too much cake batter for the tin I just cooked the extra in the bottom of another tin as a thin layer and then froze it to use in the bottom of trifle at a later date.
