Choosing the correct cake tin can make a significant difference in the outcome of your baking. For a three-layer 8-inch cake, use 300g of ingredients for each layer. Split the mixture into two tins and bake for 20 minutes to achieve a fluffy and moist consistency. It’s crucial to add ingredients in the right order to avoid a dense cake.
There’s a wide variety of cake tins available for purchase, such as the Round Cake Pans 4 Piece Set (ad) which includes sizes for 6-Inch, 8-Inch, 10-Inch, and 12-Inch cakes. Another popular choice is the 
RHOLET 8 Inch Cake Tin, perfect for cheesecakes with its springform loose bottom feature.
When preparing your cake mix, combine 175g margarine and 175g caster sugar in a bowl. Mix until the consistency becomes pale and fluffy, which could take up to five minutes. Next, line the bottom of two 8-inch pans with parchment paper, and grease and flour the sides for easy removal post-baking.
For vanilla cakes, baking durations vary depending on the size: 6-inch layers typically take 30-35 minutes, 8-inch ones about 33-36 minutes, and 10-inch layers between 35-45 minutes. Always ensure that the cake pans are rust-resistant, such as those made from anodized aluminum, to ensure uniform baking.
Whether you’re baking a birthday cake, cheesecake, or loaf cake, you can find the ideal cake tin at stores like Tesco Groceries. From the variety of options available, you can select the perfect one that suits your baking needs. And remember, the right tin can make all the difference in the final product.
