  ## How do you adjust baking time for cakes?
  
  Just increase the oven temp by 25 degrees F and decrease the bake time by a quarter. In this particular example, since your pan is 1 inch larger, more surface area will be exposed. The liquid in the cake batter will evaporate quicker, which means it will bake faster.

  ## Does a glass pan affect baking time?
  
  Because glass is an insulator, rather than a conductor, it’s slow to heat but, once hot, retains that heat for longer. This can result in uneven baking: By the time the interior is baked through, the exterior is often overcooked, dry, or dark.
  
  ## How do you calculate cooking time at a different temperature?
  
  How to adjust cooking times for different temperatures.
  
  1. Work out the percentage difference in temperature. Start Temperature / End Temp = % Difference. …
  2. Adjust Expected Time. Multiply initial time by the % Difference. …
  
  ## Do bigger cakes take longer to bake?
  
  Cakes in larger pans will generally bake faster (about . 9 minutes per ounce of batter in a 10-inch pan), while cakes in smaller pans will often take longer (up to two minutes per ounce for a 6-inch pan). Meanwhile, cakes baked in a tube or Bundt pan may only need a minute per ounce of batter.
  
  ## What temperature should you bake a cake?
  
  Cakes typically bake between 325 to 450 degrees F (see chart with Tip #9). Most convection ovens require lowering the temperature by 25 to 50 degrees F, as well as turning off the fan.
  
  ## How long does a 9 inch cake take to bake?
  
  9-inch round cake pans: For a two-layer cake, divide the batter evenly between two 9-inch rounds and bake for 20 to 22 minutes. For a three-layer cake, divide the batter evenly between three 9-inch round cake pans and bake for 17 to 19 minutes.

  ## How much profit should you make on a cake?
  
  Profit margins vary by industry, but generally, a 5% margin is low, a 10% margin is average and a 20% margin is good.
  
  ## How do you calculate cake servings?
  
  For party cakes, servings are usually 2″x2″. For weddings, portions are usually 1″x2″. So using the wedding portion size, we multiply the width by length by height to get the cubic inches of each serving (1*2*4=8).
  
  ## How many slices do you get from an 8 inch cake?
  
  8 inch cakes can be sensibly served to 14 people cutting each slice at about 2 1⁄4 inches across the back. 2 1⁄4 inches is about the length of the spoon part of a tablespoon.
  
  ## Which bakes faster glass or metal?
  
  Glass Is Faster
  
  Glass pans tend to cook food faster than most metal pans. When you use a glass pan, the glass heats up gradually, but once it’s hot, it tends to hold its temperature more steadily, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
  
  ## What temperature do you bake a cake in a glass pan?
  
  What temperature do you bake a cake in a glass pan? When baking a cake in a glass dish, you’re going to want to stick to what the recipe says and reduce it by 25F. So, if your recipe states to bake the cake at 400F, you will set the oven to 375F instead.
  
  ## Is it better to bake cake in glass or metal?
  
  It’s better to bake a cake in a metal pan over a glass one, especially a lighter-hued aluminum pan. Metal conducts heat faster than glass, reducing baking time. However, once glass does heat up in the oven, it stays hot longer than metal. This means there’s a risk of burning your cake.
