Loose Base Deep Cake Pan

The MasterClass Non-Stick 18cm Loose Base Deep Cake Pan is a sturdy round baking tin designed for beautifully deep, evenly shaped cakes. Measuring 18cm across and 8cm deep, it gives you plenty of height for generous sponge cakes, traditional fruit cakes and impressive celebration cakes.

The loose base makes removing finished cakes much easier, particularly when working with delicate sponges or cakes you want to decorate neatly. Its non-stick coating helps the bake release cleanly, while the strong steel construction provides the stability needed for regular baking.

Key Features:

Usage Ideas:

  • Bake a tall vanilla sponge and carefully slice it horizontally to create layers ready for filling with buttercream, jam or fruit.
  • Make a traditional rich fruit cake with plenty of depth for feeding, icing and decorating ahead of Christmas or a special occasion.
  • Use the 18cm deep cake tin for a smaller celebration cake, finishing it with chocolate ganache, buttercream or fondant.
  • Create one tier of a multi-tiered wedding or birthday cake, pairing the 18cm size with larger cake tins for a professional stacked finish.

How much cake mixture should you put in a deep cake tin?

As a general rule, cake tins should not be filled completely to the top because the mixture needs room to rise. Many recipes recommend filling around two thirds full, although the correct amount will depend on the particular cake recipe and raising agents used.

Do deep cakes take longer to bake?

Generally, yes. A deep cake has more mixture for heat to travel through, so it can require a longer baking time than a shallow cake of the same diameter. Follow the recipe carefully and check the centre for doneness rather than relying on colour alone.

How do you remove a cake from a loose base tin?

Once the cake has cooled sufficiently, carefully push upwards underneath the removable base to lift the cake from the outer tin. You can then transfer the cake from the base ready for decorating or serving. Lining the base with baking parchment can make this final transfer easier.
