Any cake bakers here I need bundt pan help?

[perplexed]

Is there that much difference in a 10 inch bundt pan and a 9.75 inch one as far as the cake running over in oven?
What is the normal size bundt pan for a cake mix ?

Thank you!

I just measured my pan and it is 9 1/2" but I have never used it for boxed cake mix. Are there directions on the box of mix saying what size pan to use.

I suppose you could put a sheet pan under while baking just in case of a spillover.

Either size pan will work for a standard cake mix with no run over. The larger the pan though, the flatter the cake.

Thank you both, no directions on box just says bundt pan but no size.

If your concern is cake batter spilling over in oven, do you have an angelfood cake pan you can use instead?

 

[perplexed]

no but thank you!

How old is your pan? That might make a difference, although that .25 inch isn't very much.

Could you give the cake mix maker a call at their toll free number?

One thing to consider is that cake mixes used to be 16 ounces and they, too, have shrunk as many other food products have shrunk. If the mix is less than 16 ounces, you may be safe with the smaller pan.

Putting a liner or tray underneath on the lower rack is also a good idea as previously mentioned.

Hope it turns out great!
