Asked on 24 Aug 2019 by Sue Brabner
I want to turn a loaf cake recipe into a tray bake. The cake is usually baked in a 900g loaf tin but I want to bake it in Delia's 26cm x 20cm oblong tin. Are there rules for success? The recipes says to bake it for 60 mins in a loaf tin. I presume that as the mixture is more widely spread out it will not take so long to cook? I don't want to end up with a dry cake.
Hello,
I’d check the liquid volume of the loaf tin verses the oblong tin to calculate the amount of cake mix required.
I agree with your thoughts on adjusting the timings if the volume is like for like.
Best wishes
