If you have an unusual pan size and would like to figure out its capacity, measure the amount of water it takes to fill the pan.

* Compare that measurement to the volumes in our chart (or the cake pan size listed in your recipe) to determine how much batter you'll need.
* To ensure a cake rises evenly, you should only fill your pans to the half-way mark.
* The baking time may change as well, so it is imperative that you keep a watchful eye on your cake, and check for doneness using your preferred method.
* It's always better to have a little extra batter, rather than not enough. Once you've filled the pans half-full, use any remaining batter to bake a few cupcakes.
