The best cake pan in our lineup was the Nordic Ware Natural Aluminum Commercial Round Layer Cake Pan. It baked tall, fluffy cakes that avoided doming, just barely sloping on top. The light color of the pure, uncoated aluminum body evenly cooked the sides, bottom, and top of the cake, turning the whole thing a consistent light brown color that was p...
White Cake Test: I made white cake batter from this recipeand baked one layer in each tin. Since there were five pans and the recipe made enough for three layers, I made two batches and filled each...Genoise Sponge Cake Test (Winners-Only): With the winners of the first round, I baked a Genoise sponge cakein each tin to determine how they performed with a more airy cake. After removing the cake...Cleaning and Durability Tests:I evaluated how easy it was to remove cake debris from each pan and wash it, as well as how well each pan seemed to stand up to the wear and tear of testing.Aluminum, Aluminized Steel, and Anodized Aluminum
Our favorite pan from Nordic Ware is made of pure, uncoated aluminum. But here’s the kicker, both our least favorite (USA Pan) and our second-most favorite (Williams Sonoma) were made of aluminized steel, which has been plated with aluminum or an aluminum-silicon alloy. One difference between the two is USA Pan is a shade darker in color (it was the darkest pan of the lineup) than the Williams Sonoma. Also, the Williams Sonoma isn’t non-stick, while the USA Pan is, which could have impacted h...
Pan Color and Finish Made a Difference
While most of the pans were about the same medium-grey color, it was interesting to note that the poorest performing pan from USA Pan was also the darkest. For baked goods like muffins, darker pans are sometimes preferred because they conduct more heat, baking the outsides of the muffins faster, and sending the batter shooting up (this gives them their signature tall tops). For cakes on the other hand, you want a pan that heats evenly over a long period so that there’s less of a dome, making...
Nonstick Pans vs…Sticky Pans?
Another reason the USA Pan might have underperformed could be one of its selling points: It’s the only explicitly nonstick model. When dealing with a white cake recipe with a light and fluffy batter— with two tablespoons of baking powder as well as whipped eggs that need time to set after they bake—the batter should cling onto the side of the pan a bit as it climbs up, and also when it comes out of the oven. This helps the cake hold itself up and not immediately sink when cooling.
I prefer light-colored aluminum, anodized aluminum, or aluminized steel pans over other materials, especially those that are dark-colored or non-stick. Dark pans conduct too much heat, baking cakes too fast on the outside. This creates a layer that insulates the interior, leading to a cake that is either overbaked or sinks and becomes gummy in the ...
What we liked: With both the white cake and the Genoise sponge recipes, this cake pan rose above the rest—literally. In both tests, not only did cakes bake up tall and fluffy (the white cake came in a full 1/4-inch taller than Williams Sonoma) but it was consistently the most level, avoiding doming so much that you’d barely have to trim either cake...
Fat Daddio’s Anodized Aluminum Round Cake Pan: A model that we have recommended before, this pan is the only 3-inch-deep model I tested. The white cake baked in this pan was good, but not great. It...How do you get cake out of a pan?
To loosen the cake from the tin, run a mini offset spatulaor butter knife around the edge of the tin, keeping your pressure on the tin to avoid cutting into the cake. For smaller, sturdier cakes, you can simply invert the cool cake onto your hand (if the tins have cooled off) and then place the cake right side up on a rack to cool completely. Otherwise, place a wire rack, top-side down, on the cake pan. Then, use both hands (with oven mitts or akitchen towelif the pan is hot) to flip over the...
How do you grease a cake pan?
Make sure you follow the recipe's instructions for greasing or lining a cake tin because some batters need more or less pan prep than others. To prep a cake pan for maximum stick prevention, brush the whole interior with a small amount of softened butter (using the end of a butter stick or a butter stick wrapper with some butter on it also works). Then, place the bottom of the tin on some parchment paper, trace around the bottom, and cut out the circle. Place the parchment into the bottom of...
How full do you fill a cake pan?
In most cases, you should fill your cake pans no more than two-thirds of the way with batter. However, always defer to the recipe as written. Under-filling your pans can also present a problem, as cookbook author and pastry expert Stella Parks notes in her treatise on cake pans. “Without sufficient batter in the pan, a cake doesn't rise as well or as evenly,” she writes. “The change in surface area means the batter will set faster than it can rise, leading to weird bubbles, cracks, and blemis...
