9-inch round is the standard layer-cake size in American baking — birthday cakes, anniversary cakes, the layered chocolate cake your grandmother used to make. Two pans means you bake both layers at once instead of waiting for a single pan to cool, scrub, and re-grease. Corrugated bottom creates air channels that brown the cake evenly without burning the bottom.
Reach for these for any 9-inch round recipe — sponge cake, devil’s food, white cake, vanilla bean, carrot cake. Also doubles as roundbread pans for sourdough boules or mini casseroles.
USA Pan is the consumer line of American Pan in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania — the company supplies aluminized-steel commercial bakeware to professional bakeries.
