Quick! Sub. for 10-inch tube pan?

[tamawrite]

I'd like to make CL's Sour Cream Pound Cake but the recipe calls for a 10-inch tube pan, which I don't have. I don't have a bundt or angel-food cake pan either. Would an 8-inch round or square pan work? Thanks!

I think I would use a loaf pan. That way the cooking time should be the same and many pound cakes are baked in loaf pans.

You could use a loaf pan, but you may need two of them. The recipe specifically says tube pan because it is a larger cake.

You'll need to know the depth of the pan as well but an 8-inch pan isn't going to be nearly large enough:

12-cup Baking Dish or Pan:
9" x 3" angel-cake pan or tube pan
10" x 2-1/2" springform pan
10" x 3-1/2" bundt pan
13" x 9" x 2" metal baking pan
14" x 10-1/2" x 2-1/2" roasting pan

16-cup Baking dish or Pan:
9" x 3-1/2" springform pan
10" x 4" fancy tube mold

6-cup Baking dish or Pan:
7-1/2" x 3" bundt tube pan
8" x 8" x 2" square pan
8 1/2" x 4-1/2" x 2-1/2" loaf pan
9" x 1-1/2" round layer cake pan
9" x 2" round pie plate (deep dish)
9" x 9" x 1-1/2" rectangular pan
10" x 1-1/2" round pie plate
11" x 7" x 2" rectangular pan

Hmmm. I'd like to use loaf pans, but I only have one as the other got lost in my last move. :rolleyes: I wonder how well the batter would do if I let half of it sit while the first half baked? Or, according to Sneezles info -- thanks Sneezles!!! -- I could use my large springform pan. What to do, what to do...

You can either bake half at a time in your loaf pan, keeping the extra batter in the fridge to slow the chemical reactions in the batter or line your springform with foil (I think it might seep out before setting. If it were me I'd do the loaf pan, JMHO!

I think you're right, Sneezles. Thanks again. :)
