Calling all cake makers - urgent help needed

Liney_2

Hello there

I am about to make my sons birthday cakes - an inchworm and a worm cake.

I am using a silicon round mould with a hole in the middle (think they might call it a bundt ring). It is this size
100mm / 4"deep x 245mm / 10" wide

I thought I might make a chocolate one and a plain maderia one but I have no idea on how much ingredients I need to fill this shape and size of mould (tin).

Please, please can someone advise me and am happy to take on board your recipes if you have experience of using this shape and size of mould.

Looking forward to your help...eeek! Panic has set in.

:eek:

I'd guess at a 4-egg mixture (based on pound cake recipe where the weight of the eggs is the same as that of each of the sugar, fat & flour), as I think this is about half the size of the angel food cake tin that I use which takes an 8-egg mix (i.e. 1lb of everything).

However, I'm sure someone else will have used a similar mould before and have a more reliable answer!

Thanks Greenbee.

I found this American recipe very late last night and it is currently in the oven.
I quite like using the 'cup' measurements seems much quicker than weighing everything out.
