Any tips for dividing a bowl of cake batter into thirds?!


Question: I've got a bowl of angel food cake mix and one 8.5-inch loaf pan. The recipe says I should put 1/3 of the mix into that size pan. However, I'm quite bad at estimating thirds in cases like this, when stuff is in a single large bowl.

I don't want to end up with three uneven cakes. Any tips for measuring out what one-third of the batter would be?

You need three identical containers, which most be people don't have in baking stuff - like measuring cups.
So get three identical drinking glasses which most people have and pour the batter a little bit at a time into each one bringing them up even. Then pour and scrape out one glass for each cake. You will lose a lttle bit sticking to the glasses, depending on how well you scrape.
If you make this mix often, take one of the glasses and put the contents in a measuring cup and make note of the volume so you can scoop out the right amount from the bowl without using the glasses.

using a big Soup Serving Spoon separate the batter evenly into 3 cups !

measure how many cups of cake batter you have and divide by three; just say you have 12 cups of cake batter divided by 3 =4 so each loaf pan will get 4 cups.

scoop 1 cup of batter into each cake at a time. then it will be evened out

You measure how much batter there is {or it can be on the bow} and you divide it in three. Then you take a measuring cup and you put it into its parts.
