I am making a cake and the recipe calls for a 900g/2lb loaf tin. How do I work out if the loaf tin I have is the correct size – or how do I work out how big my tin is so I know whether to scale the recipe appropriately?

Best Answer
You are looking at a 8.5" x 4.5" x 2.5" (or 7.25" x 4.5" x 3.5", high sided model) bread pan. If you are looking at using a different shape, it might affect the texture of the cake, but you'll have to calculate the volume difference from there. Something around 100-114 cubic inches. (Length x width x height).
