Conversion from springform pan to baking tray
Are you in the mood for a delicious sheet cake? Do you have all the ingredients, such as eggs, flour etc., in the house, but only have a springform pan? No problem! With this conversion table from Rezeptschachtel , you can convert all standard baking tins and the calculation is child's play.
The most common springform pan sizes are 24, 26 or 28 cm in diameter, but the table also lists much smaller pans - you should be able to find your cake pan. Just look at the conversion figure.
Instructions: How to read the conversion table
Above you will find the baking pan you have at home. Here you can differentiate between round and square, and then select the size (diameter or inner dimensions). On the left-hand side you will find the desired baking tin size, the top 10 lines refer to round baking tins, the bottom 7 lines list the tin sizes from 11 cm by 25 cm to 34 cm by 38 cm.

Assuming you have an 11 cm by 35 cm baking tray, but want to use a 24 cm springform pan, read the number 1.5 where the column and row meet in the table. You now simply multiply the quantities of ingredients given in the recipe by a factor of 1.5 and can bake your cake in the existing 24 cm springform pan instead of on the baking tray. You can then use the new quantities to measure ingredients such as water or sugar accordingly.
Please note that different baking tins have different baking times. The larger the baking tin and the larger the amount of dough, the longer the baking time.

Another calculation example, but in reverse, i.e. from springform pan to baking tray: For example, you have a springform pan with a diameter of 24 cm and want to convert the recipe to a baking tray measuring 34x38 cm. If you go through the table, you will come across the conversion factor 2.9. You multiply the ingredients in your recipe accordingly and bake a tray cake with the new quantity.
Tips: If there is still some batter left over when transferring, simply pour it into a few muffin tins and put them in the oven. These muffin tins have very good reviews on Amazon. Or take the remaining batter and bake muffins or cupcakes with it. Add a delicious topping and you've got something tasty to go with your coffee.
Calculating the surface area of round springform tins
Calculating the surface area of a round springform pan can seem a little complicated at first, but it is actually quite feasible. In this context, the famous mathematical constant pi plays a decisive role. Pi is an infinitely long number that begins with the number 3 and is used to calculate the area of a circle. To simplify the calculation, pi is often rounded to approximately 3.14.
The next important factor when calculating the area of a round springform pan is the radius. The radius corresponds to half the diameter of the springform pan. To calculate the area of the springform pan, the radius must first be multiplied by itself and then multiplied by pi.
Example: If a springform pan has a diameter of 26 cm, the radius is 13 cm (26 cm ÷ 2). To calculate the area of the springform pan, we multiply the radius by itself and by pi (13 cm ✕ 13 cm ✕ 3.14). The result is an area of about 530 cm².
By using this simple formula, you can easily calculate the surface area of any round springform pan and thus plan your baking projects precisely.
