Conversion Tips

*If you have to use a larger pan than called for, cake batter will spread thinner and therefore bake faster. Check for doneness earlier than the stated time to avoid overbaking.

*Fill pans up to two-thirds full, unless stated otherwise in the recipe. This will prevent batter from overflowing during the baking process.

*When using glass or dark metal pans, reduce the oven temperature by 25°F. Glass pans take longer to heat up but hold onto heat longer than metal pans. Dark metal pans conduct heat faster than glass or light coloured pans.
