Pound Cake Pan

It seems that some recipes are more dough, and finally the kitchen and on and off the pan, pour over the oven floor. Is there a golden rule? 2 / 3 full or something like that?

Never place the dough on the edge of your stove is a safe discharge.
Always use about two thirds or more depending on the size of your skillet.
And use the rest for cupcakes.

For a full third cake is usually right. 2/3rds will surely overflow.

What kind of stove do you use? Most books cakes are made from "closed" forms. If you use an open container so I suggest you cover and weigh. If you want to watch this bread ", fill pan half full. Of course, you'll uneven "bubble" if you leave your place cake indiscriminately.
