Note for Bakers

Yesterday I made banana bread. Yum! (America's Test Kitchen wins again with their recipe. You all really should buy their cookbooks. Maybe I'll do a give-away again. That would be a good pre-holiday cooking giveaway. Hmmm..watch for one!) I didn't have an loaf pans but did have a tube cake pan. My google-search for how to convert cooking time didn't turn up much - so here's my public service announcement for bakers everywhere.


A recipe that makes one loaf converted to a tube cake pan.


Double the recipe, increase cooking time by 1.5 (If it's directed to cook for an hour - cook for an hour and a half)


Please note these results are not scientific and your recipe could be different - but - there's a starting point!

  1. Good to know!

    And yes, I want their cookbook. I put it on my wedding registry but I didn't receive it, and haven't gotten around to purchasing it for myself.

    I usually make the banana bread in "The Joy of Cooking" and that's pretty popular, too.
