Conversions

I like to use ounces in my recipes, because I still think in terms of '3 eggs, 6 oz flour/ butter/ sugar' for cake baking!  But lots of the recipes I look at use American 'cup' quantities.  I've got some measuring cups and a set of teaspoon/ tablespoon measures, but sometimes it's useful to do a quick conversion - I mean, what is a 'stick' of butter?

Scaling recipes for different sized cake tins

This chart is based on a basic cake recipe for a round cake that is 8 inches (20cm) in diameter and about 3 inches (7.5cm) deep.  Therefore, if you want to make a 10 inch (25.5cm) round cake, you will need 1 ½ times the quantity of your usual recipe.
