I was wondering if anyone can give any incite as to how many servings you can get from cakes baked in a Pyrex bowl?
There are many sizes of Pyrex bowls:) Base the estimate on how much batter is used To figure that fill the bowl with water and measure it Say there is 6 cups of water & your recipe makes that much batter How many servings do you usually get from that?
it might say on the bottom how big the bowl is or you could measure it too -- and depends on how you cut it -- like in wagon wheel spoke type wedges or in sections --
I believe they will cut it like a wagon wheel, I have a bowl that is 9" across 2.5L or I have one that is 4.0 L about 11" across so if that helps with giving a idea of how many servings you think I can get??
the 9” cake could be cut in 12 wedges maybe a slim 16 if it was a firm cake but the 11” is too big for wedges — you could get about 34 slices but it just depends on how tall the cake is —
how many servings do you need?
something else you need to know — cake pans bake a two or three inch tall cake for a reason — just because you have a deep bowl to bake in, cake batter will not necessarily bake well/correctly if it is more than three inches deep — needs to be closer to one and a half inches deep before baking — maybe one and a two thirds inches deep —
what you can do is bake a corresponding round cake — and sandwich the cakes together with icing making a two layer cake — so a 9” pan if you use the smaller bowl and probably you need to use a 12” pan to enhance the 11” bowl cake and trim it a bit — but you could get an 11” pan —
all this to get your cake to a height of 4” to 5” tall — if that’s your goal — and to avoid a disaster bake where the cake sinks in the middle —
and you can add an upside down rose nail if you have one to help assist the batter baking in the middle
