Get your cake layers the same size - every time!

Ever baked a cake into two or more layers and your layers just were not the same size?  One is much taller than another? It's a simple fix... Use your scale!

Distribute your batter as evenly as you can by "eyeballing" it... 

Next - Weigh each pan on your scale 

NOTE:  this only works if your pans are the same size and style

As you can see, my estimation was off by about 3 ounces.  I can redistribute the batter (taking 1.5 ounces out of the heavier one and adding it to the lighter one)

Redistribute your batter accordingly to get the same amount of batter in each pan.  It's not necessary to get them exactly the same weight... these pans are within 1/10th of an ounce... not enough to make an appreciable difference.

VOILA!  Even layers...

Your layers will come out the same height every time!

If you're feeling particularly particular, you can also add the weight of all your ingredients and divide that weight by the number of pans you're baking.... then you can weigh the batter into each pan according to your calculations :)

Happy Weighing!
