I want to make a football-shaped cake this weekend and don't have the specialty pans so am using the advice to use loaf pans instead. Two questions:

1.) I have bread loaf pans in a few sizes--Will those work? Or are loaf pans for cakes something different?

2.) And if I can use the bread loaf pans, how much batter can I put in each before the cakes sink in the center?

Thank you as always.

I've actually decided to make a different cake, but replies would be helpful anyway. Thank you.

loaf pans are loaf pans are loaf pans! HAve fun!

Ah, thank you, izzybee!

Hi,
I've used my bread loaf pans for cakes many times. Works great. I fill the pan about 1/2 full and it bakes up just fine.
