Round or square? What to watch when converting a recipe

A square ring with 20 cm sides has a good quarter more surface than a round ring of Ø 20 cm. Adjust your recipe, otherwise the base will turn out too thin. Our article on how to convert a cake recipe explains how.

Tips for sharp corners

Place the ring on baking paper and spread the mixture right into the corners with a scraper. Loosen the edges with a thin knife before lifting the ring. With fondant, square cakes are trickier than round ones because the corners tear easily. Work out the amount with the fondant calculator. More in fondant and marzipan.
