How do I adjust a recipe/baking time/temp to enable me to use a 20cm tin instead of a 23cm tin?

Question

I need to bake a smaller size cake to fit a 20cm box. the recipe I want to use reqires a 23cm tin. I need to know how to adjust the recipe/ baking time and temp

Answer 1

You shouldn't have to adjust anything in your recipe to use a smaller baking tin. It only works out to be 1 1/4 inches difference. The outcome will be so minimal, you wouldn't even notice it

Answer 2

you can bake it at the regular time start watching it to be done about 15 minutes before...test it and judge whether it needs more time or less..this is how i bake when i bake cakes etc in cake pans that are not listed on the box

Answer 3

Bake at the regular temp.  Your cake will actually take a little longer to bake because it will be taller than in the larger pan.  Check it at the regular amount of time and then add from there.

Enjoy your cake.
