Question:

Can a bunt cake recipe be used in a regular cake pan?

I have this wonderful chocolate bunt cake recipe, and i want to use it in three circle pans instead of the one large bunt. what do i have to do do adjust, and will it work? thanks!


Answers:
Yes, certainly you can, but to save yourself a lot of maths, you'd be better off baking it as a single cake in a 4" tall, round tin and slice twice horizontally. To compensate for the volume loss of the Bundt tin 'hole', drop down between ?" and 1" in tin size diameter, so if your recipe is calibrated for a 9" Bundt tin, drop back to an 8?" or even an 8" round tin instead, preferably made of as heavy gauge metal as your Bundt tin, or you may have to adjust your temperatures as well as lengthen your cooking time. Because of the loss of the 'hole' in the centre of the Bundt tin which cooks faster through increased convection as well as greater surface radiation, you will need to increase your cooking time by between 20% and up to 35%, depending on the density of your mixture, sometimes by even more than that.

Hope this helps, but if you need more, drop me a line whenever you need to.
