Recalculation of ingredients for different forms.
Hello everyone! My name is Natalia, and I am glad to welcome you to my channel Tasty Simply Fast!
Today I want to tell you how to simply and quickly recalculate the amount of ingredients from a round shape to a square or rectangular shape, and vice versa.
For instance:
I indicate the amount of ingredients for round shape with a diameter of 18 cm, and you want to bake the same height rectangular cake 15 x 23 cm.
To do this, you need to calculate the coefficient, it is calculated as follows.
It is necessary to calculate the area of each shape
- The area of a circle is calculated by the formula
S = Pr ^ 2 (P = 3.14 times half the radius squared)
I have a form 18 cm
S1 = 3.14 x 9 x 9 = 254.34 cm
- The area of the rectangle is calculated by the formula
S = a x b
Your shape size 15 x 23 cm
S2 = 15 x 23 = 345 cm
- We calculate the coefficient, divide the area of your form by the area of my form
K = S2 / S1
K = 345 / 254.34 = 1.36
The coefficient is 1.36- means, in order to bake a cake measuring 15 x 23cm, you need the number of all ingredients in the recipe multiplied by 1.36.
I recommend to look at the page with this recipe.
No oven in the pan. Incredibly delicious Riga chocolate cake
If the recipe indicates a round shape, and yours is square, then you must also calculate their area and ratio
For instance:
I indicate the amount of ingredients for round shape with a diameter of 18 cm, and you want to bake the same height square cake measuring 20 x 20 cm.
- The area of a circle is calculated by the formula
S = Pr ^ 2 (P = 3.14 times half the radius squared)
I have a form 18 cm
S18 cm = 3.14 x 9 x 9 = 254.34 cm
- The area of a square is calculated by the formula
S = a²
Your shape size 20 x 20 cm
S = 20 x 20
S 20cm = 20x 20 = 400cm
- We calculate the coefficient, divide the area of your form by the area of my form
K = S20 / S18
K = 400 / 254.34 = 1.57
The coefficient is 1.57 - means to bake a cake measuring 20 x 20 cm, you need to multiply the amount of all ingredients in the recipe by 1.57.
For example, if a mold with a diameter of 18 cm requires 140 grams of sugar, then for a mold measuring 20 x 20 cm you will need 140 x 1.57 = 220 grams of sugar.
