The Wildflower loaf pan has a six-cup capacity and this offered enough space for our 2lb lemon drizzle loaf cake batter.

Instead, bake the excess batter a muffin pan, filling the empty tins with a few tablespoons of water to keep the pan from warping” Bir notes.

This is why “standard” is in quotes, the answer depends on the recipe and a good recipe will include dimensions of the pan they want you to use. Made in the USA, they have an excellent food-safe, non-stick surface for easy release and easy washing up.I have several that are different dimensions, some short and long others high and narrow, I have come across some recipe sites that mention measurements but the tins are wider at the top than the bottom so where do you measure them, others talk about a 1lb or 2lb tin how do I know ? After making our batch of lemon drizzle batter and filling the tin, we noticed the tin looked very full. A 900gm loaf of bread will start off with about 1200gms of dough (because the water tends to evaporate during proving and cooking).

If you put your cake into the oven, thinking all is well and then it rises…and rises…and rises over the top of the tin and starts flowing over, then you have probably overfilled your cake tin! The right amount of kneading/folding supports and improves the gluten benefits in the dough as well.

He gives the dough weights for starting points - 450-550g for small loaves and 850-950 for the large ones - and my scaling is more or less in the middle of that range and I get good results from them. Having had a look at the tins, the two-pound tin looks about right and the one-pound tins maybe a little too small.

Bir’s answer makes sense, but the reason decoding loaf pan sizes is complicated is because we shouldn’t be mixing weight and volume measurements. This is a commercial tin and if I take a supermarket pan loaf it fits right in, with a little poking out the top. The non-stick coating meant our finished cake tipped out of the tin with ease, leaving nothing behind.The non-stick qualities of the range is due to the superior Whitford Eclipse double layered coating which is used.

And if you’re not in the mood for bread don’t worry, loaf pans are great for polenta cakes, small-batch bars, and meatloaf. This is the optimal loaf tin size for this particular recipe but that’s not to say you can’t get good results from a different tin size - or even from a different shape. The range is designed with beautifully rolled edges, to provide extra strength and making each piece rust resistant; these products resist warping or rusting. At the top and tail of the loaf tin are two large lips, making this KitchenAid tin safe and easy to remove from the oven. It may be tempting to put the full quantity of mixture into the 1lb loaf tin at once but with eggs and baking powder in the mixture, your cake should rise.

If you haven’t got a loaf tin at all, but have a square cake tin or a round tin, the standard sizes are 7” (18cm), 8” (20cm) and 9” (23cm). Too much dough baked in my Pullman loaf pan with the lid on left a dense ring around the outer edge.
