| Pan | 9 x 13" rectangle | 12 cup bundt or tube |
| Area | 117 sq in | n/a |
| Capacity | 16.2 cups | 12 cups |
| Multiply by | 0.74 |
- Check the capacity on the bottom of the pan or fill it with water cup by cup. Pan makers do not all use the same size.
- Fill a bundt pan no more than two thirds full. The batter rises, and a full pan can overflow into the oven.
- A deep bundt cake bakes longer than a flat cake. The tool keeps your oven temperature and gives a time range of 1 to 1 1/2 times the recipe time. Check often near the end.
- Grease and flour every groove. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before you turn it out.
