TIP: the easiest way to approximate how much volume a pan holds is to fill the pan with water and measure the amount of the water. Remember though,
when baking cakes, one usually fills the pan at least half full with batter allowing the batter room to rise and bake evenly!! As for baking time factors refer
to my Cake Primer to judge when a cake is finished baking. Usually round single layer or square cake pans take 20 to 30 minutes to finish baking. Oblong
pans about, 45 to 60 minutes and tube and angel cake pan 45 minutes to 1 hour and 20 minutes depending on the recipe and temperature factors.
Remember these are only approximate guides! Mini pans, take the least time to bake of all . So let your eyes, ( look ) nose ( smell ) and hands ( feel ) guide
you. After a while you can easily judge when your baked goods are done.

To cut consistent portion sizes for brownies, cakes etc. from the 18 x 26 inch pan do this:
25 portions: score the long side into 5 equal pieces and the short side into 5 equal pieces and then cut through to get 25 pieces
48 portions : score and cut into 6 x 8 sections
50 portions: score and cut into 5 x 10 sections
60 portions: score and cut into 6 x 10 sections
100 portions: score and cut into 10 x 10 sections
An easy way to get more pieces from a round cake is to: Cut a circular ring around the center of the cake, leave intact. Then cut slices all around the outside area of the ring and then in the inside area of the ring. Recipe
