How To Multiply Your Cake Recipe for Larger Tins! | Georgia’s Cakes

Here it is! The tutorial you've all been waiting for. An in-depth (i.e. lots of talking) explanation about how to multiply your cake batter for larger or more cakes. I have a really simple system which you can apply to any cake recipe, whether you use mine or your own. I've written below the details for the different sized cake tins, how much batter each tin requires and cooking times.
Hope this helps!

Hi ! Very useful video ! However from size of 10 inches you can add flowe nails in your mould to cook the batter faster without burning edges ... 2 for 10 and 3 for larger sizes

[@petercrook8392]

My mother used the 2oz rule. Yes she weighed the eggs. 1 egg - 2oz. For a sponge cake, four ingredients of 2oz. Bigger cakes - use 2x2oz rule (3x2...4x2...). Supermarkets sell "Cooks Eggs". Yes I've weighed them, a little less than 2oz. But we are now using metric and so the "egg sorter" on the farm has probably been recalibrated. You use imperial "tins" and "metric" ingredients. Love your video's, keep up the good work. Go on be honest, do you weigh your eggs?. I'm 68 and still love cooking.

Thank you for such an informative tutorial. My daughter asked me to bake a cake for her 4th birthday. This video has helped instill some confidence in me to fulfill her request

Excellent tutorial and makes things so much simpler and easy to understand. Thank you so much!

[@Angie_grimes1981]

this information was the easiest for me to understand than other videos ive watched, plus it helped that you used the same measurements for batter mix as my mum used to as a kid so i knew i was onto a good thing when i heard that. love this and have taken lots of notes to put into practice

Hi Georgia this tutorial on the measurements of different cake pan sizes is so helpful you explained it very well. I’m starting to get into baking layer cakes and recently purchased two 8x3in pans but didn’t know how to put together the batter for the pans because the recipes I came across was the standard 8 or 9 inch pan and not the deep pans. This helped me out a lot I’m sitting here asking Siri how many pounds is this and that😊. So I would like to ask so that I can be clear on the ingredients for the 8x3in this is what I got from Siri please correct me if it’s incorrect thanks😊 500g of butter is 1.1 pound so I came up with 4 1/2 sticks 500g of sugar is 1.1 pound 400g of eggs is 8 large eggs 500 grams of flour is 1.1 pound I’m not used to using grams…now I can put the scale I bought last year to work finally😊😊. Thanking you in advance should you respond

Google reasons for cake cracking and try those straps that you fix to your cake tin. In some places they are called Wilson strips. They do help.

Hi Georgia, thank you for this helpful video!! Can I just ask what depth cake tin is the best to buy? 2", 3" or 4" ?

Hello Georgia, I’m new on your Chanel & every video is an absolute masterclass with all the tips / tricks & advices & thank you for sharing . I would like to know more about if you can add white chocolate to a buttercream . ps where I live ( Mauritius little island in the Indian Ocean ) it’s hot & very humid in summer & slightly cooler but still a bit humid in winter .

[@dr.karenpeters5757]

This was so helpful. The recipe you listed is different from the sponge cake you teach on the online course. Which would be better for making a tiered cake, for a wedding?

[@lindsaytellekamp1687]

I also wonder why the recipe is different. 😊

[@jenidsouza3064]

Same -

[@stephaniecampbell9561]

Hi! So I enrolled in your cake perfect online course and while I was looking at the ingredients for your basic vanilla sponge recipe, it states that you use oil. However in this video it says to use unsalted butter. Can you tell me the difference between the 2 and if either make a difference to the bake itself? Which would you say is better to use? Thanks!

[@soobadarnazira9121]

Hello there, I’m from Mauritius ( little island in the Indian Ocean ); in my humble opinion oil gives softer crumbs texture & butter gives a more airy fluffy texture ) I personally use oil to replace melted butter hence it brings down the cake cost . The basic sponge vanilla cake in Georgia’s recipe is also known as a pound cake ( all 4 ingredients are same weight ) where u beat sugar & butter to incorporate air thus obtaining a batter that is double in volume & the yellowish color of the butter becomes more of a beige ( off white color ) hence stick to butter. Hope that helped answering your question

[@arisbakehouse]

I have the exact same question!

[@jenidsouza3064]

Thank you so much exactly what I needed - may I ask the course that I took from you did not have butter in your cake recipe is it ok to follow that recipe. Also if you could add how many serves for each tin wud be more help ful . Thank you again - u r my guru !

Hi! Really informative video thank you! Do you keep the 4 inch to 8 inch cakes at the same temperature? And obvs adjust the time like you said.

Thank you so much for this video. Can I check what oven temperature you should cook these at? 180 fan? 200 fan? Thank you!

[@redmi9834]

I bake apple cakes at 180C with bottom heat only and fan. A 8 inch round tin takes 50-60 mins. I bake at one shelf above the bottom which is a little less than the middle shelf.
