How Much Does A Slice Of Cake Weigh

Jhumjhum29 Posted 8 Jul 2016 , v:18pm

Is it possible to know how much the cake weighs using a specific size of cake pan earlier baking? I mean to say if I need 1 kg cake so how can I know how much batter will give me the desired weight and which size pan I need. Please aid me.

I don't think yous can know this universally for all recipes in a given pan considering the ingredients will determine the weight more than the size of the pan. A vanilla block is much lighter than say a carrot or banana cake. You would have to be actually precise in your measurements to know this for even one recipe down to weighing the eggs.

Why not brand your batter, weigh out 1 kg. and figure out what size pan information technology fits in? The baked block may weigh less due to evaporation, so it will take trial and error.

ok honey. i understand your opinion. really I'm new in baking industry and at present I'1000 taking few orders. here clients enquire for cake weight say 1 kg , ii kg like that. I'am little chip confused if somebody asks for 1 kg block which cake pan I have to employ. now I'll keep mind about the recipe equally you said above. if the recipe calls for simple vanilla cake it obviously need more batter than that of carrot cake or banana block. I'll keep this in my heed. thanks a lot for your information.

Why not make your batter, counterbalance out 1 kg. and figure out what size pan information technology fits in? The baked cake may weigh less due to evaporation, and then it will have trial and error.

this is non for the caribbean area fruit block is it? idk i call back there's a certain cake or maybe a lot of different cakes in one of the caribbean countries that sells cakes by weight or is it africa?

Pastrybaglady Posted 12 Jul 2016 , 7:28pm

In the states we don't sell past weight but by servings. And then are there recipes that already exist where y'all are that accept already done the figuring for you? It would take a lot of experimenting for me to figure out something similar this just @hippiecac‍ has given you an excellent jumping off signal. Does the 1 kg also include frosting?

sorry for replying late. I was a bit busy last few days. I'grand not talking about any specific cake my dear. here in this function of the world every cake is ordered in terms of weight. like 1 kg 2 kg like that. that's why I wanted to know the way to know the weight of the block before baking it. :)

yeah I know dear in most of the places cakes ar ordered every bit per serving but here n this function of the world cakes are sold in terms of weight. yeah it'southward included frosting. so that means I have to weigh the cake in such a manner so that after frosting information technology comes round well-nigh 1 kg.

So there must be a general standard of what size a 1 kg block is expected to be. I'g assuming it's non exactly 1 kg because that would be crazy hard to accomplish. Are at that place bakeries near you that have cakes and their prices on display? If there are, I would go there and take note of their approximate cake sizes to get an estimate of how large your cakes should be. I'm guessing it's okay to exist a little over, but they still pay past the total weight.
