My clay cake pan has 27 cm of inner superior diameter, 20 cm of inner inferior diameter and 8.5 cm in height.
The first time you use a clay cake pan it's advisable to dip it in water before first use.
Here in Portugal, clay cake pans are easily found at local fairs or in specialty bakery shops.
The Sponge Cake cooking time differs from oven to oven and with the type of cake pan used.
You can also use a metal cake pan and line it with parchment paper, but you will need to reduce the cooking time.
This loaf should rest for at least 6 hours, but it's best 24 hours later. The difference is incredible! So I advise you to prepare it in advance.
