Precise measurements can be vital to cooking and baking success.

| regular 1 | 80ml | 1/3 cup |

| 20cm square cake pan | 8 inch | |
| 23cm springform cake pan | 9 inch | |
| 25cm springform cake pan | 10 inch | |
To check your muffin pan's capacity, for a mini muffin pan pour 1 1/2 tablespoons (30ml) water into 1 hole in your pan. If the water comes right to the top (with none left over) it is 1 1/2 tablespoon capacity. Use the same method to measure regular or Texas muffin pans.
