Silicone, Non-stick or Aluminium Cake Pan – Which is Best?

The material of your cake pan can have a significant impact on the result of your baked goods. Something as simple as using a silicone pan instead of an aluminium option can completely change the outcome of your cake.

Aluminium - When it comes to choosing a baking tray for cake, aluminium is a popular choice. A standard baking choice known for its lightweight nature and even heat distribution. Most aluminium pans aren’t non-stick, so be sure to grease them well. Unless you opt for an anodised aluminium option which is designed so that your cake will release with ease and cook perfectly.

Non-Stick - Another staple for most keen bakers, non-stick pans make baking and cleaning a breeze. The non-stick coating makes it easy to remove your baked goods from the pan every time for a professional result.

Silicone - Often reserved for novelty items, silicone baking pans are rising in popularity due to their flexible nature and brightly coloured designs. These pans can be fun but may not promote even heat distribution as well as other materials. They are perfect for no-bake applications, such as making fudge or ice cream.

Which Type of Cake Pan Should I Buy?

Round – A traditional choice for classic cakes, a round cake pan is available in a vast array of diameters and depths, as well as spring-form options. An 8-inch round pan is the perfect starting point for cake-baking. As you gain more confidence, add additional sizes, and get creative!

Square and Rectangular - In the world of baking, square and rectangular pans are often interchangeable. They can be used to bake brownies, as well as plenty of other types of bars and even cakes. 8x8 inch is a great choice for a square pan.

Sheets and Trays – Ideal for both sweet and savory baking, a baking tray is perfect for creating trendy sheet pan cakes, which are great for pleasing a crowd. A sheet pan, or tray is incredibly versatile and can be used to bake a variety of desserts, from sweet shortbreads to delicious slices.

Loaf Pans – Ideal for creating savoury meat loaves to banana bread or even sourdough, a tried-and-true loaf pan, is an essential baking dish for every keen cake baker. Pan size is typically 8-½ x 4-½ x 2-½ inches however, loaf tins are available in many other sizes.
