*The pan specified for this recipe is an 11-inch, ten-cup LaForme pan, called a “deep Swiss rosette” pan. LaForme’s older version of the rosette pan is 12-inches in diameter but holds just 5 cups, i.e. it’s significantly less "deep." This recipe is “designed” to go into the larger capacity rosette pan, but any pan(s) you have that will hold the ten cups of the cake-mixture amount and adjust the baking time to whatever degree necessary.
