Frequently Asked Questions

How long should I bake a cake in a deep 5-inch round pan?
Deep round pans require longer baking at a slightly lower temperature than standard pans. As a guide, a dense mud cake may take 60. 75 minutes at 150°C. Always test with a skewer in the centre before removing from the oven. Using baking strips around the outside of the pan also helps ensure even baking all the way through.

Will this pan work for a tiered stacked cake?
Yes. The 5 x 3 inch pan produces a neat, straight-sided round that is ideal for stacking. Ensure the cake is fully cooled, levelled and supported with dowels when stacking tiers above it.
