Mary Berry recipe for a marbled coffee ring cake - it says to use a cake tin size given below

1.75 litre (2 3/4 pint) ring mould cake tin

250g Margarine 250g caster sugar
4 eggs 250g self-raising flour

I can't find a 3 pint ring mould anywhere on the internet, and have absolutely no idea how to translate this into another kind of cake tin. Please can anyone help?

is a 3 pint ring mould cake tin equal to an 8 inch ring mould cake tin / savarin cake tin
OR
is a 3 pint ring mould cake tin equal to a 9 inch ring mould cake tin /savarin cake tin ?

My husband and me had this cake once and since then wanted to make it somehow but we could never get the cake tin . i will be grateful if anyone can help me

Thank you so much

Do you have the tin? Fill it with water and then pour if off into a measuring jug to see if it works. You can then work out how many pints / fractions of a pint your tin holds and adjust accordingly.

I would do what @Cismyfatarse suggested.

If you don't already have the tins, I think an 8'' savarin tin would probably be closest. I sometimes use this site

It doesn't have savarin tins but I think bundt tins should be a similar volume. 7.5'' is too small and 9'' too big.

If it were a choice between too big and too small, I'd go too small and use the leftover batter in a different tin. Too big and it won't rise properly.

Thank you so much for your replies /messages . I still have not bought a cake tin for this - The nearby cake shop has to order for it and a wait of 2 weeks for a Savarin cake tin.

amazon has big ones // i wonder if i can use angel food cake tin ???
May be i will buy an 8 inch savarin cake tin and remove some cake mix and hope for the best.
still confused soul but many thanks again --
