I’ve got a bowl of angel food cake mix and one 8.5-inch loaf pan. The recipe says I should put 1/3 of the mix into that size pan. However, I’m quite bad at estimating thirds in cases like this, when stuff is in a single large bowl.
I don’t want to end up with three uneven cakes. Any tips for measuring out what one-third of the batter would be?
You need three identical containers, which most be people don’t have in baking stuff – like measuring cups.
So get three identical drinking glasses which most people have and pour the batter a little bit at a time into each one bringing them up even. Then pour and scrape out one glass for each cake. You will lose a lttle bit sticking to the glasses, depending on how well you scrape.
If you make this mix often, take one of the glasses and put the contents in a measuring cup and make note of the volume so you can scoop out the right amount from the bowl without using the glasses.
