What size is a 23cm round cake tin in inches?

A 23cm round cake tin is approximately 9 inches in diameter. You will often see recipes refer to either a 23cm or 9-inch cake tin, although it is always worth checking the exact dimensions specified by the recipe.

How does increasing a cake tin from 20cm to 23cm affect a recipe?

A 23cm round tin has considerably more surface area than a 20cm tin. Using the same quantity of cake mixture will therefore produce a shallower sponge, which can also alter the baking time. For predictable results, use a recipe intended for a 23cm tin or correctly scale the ingredients.

How many people will a 23cm cake serve?

The number of portions depends on the cake's depth and how generously it is cut. A 23cm cake generally provides more servings than standard 18cm or 20cm versions, making it a useful size for birthdays, gatherings and other occasions where you need to cut a larger number of portions.
