Many of us are older and have no kids at home. Some of us are single. I think we need a place to share downsized desserts. It took us two weeks and a new belt to eat the Jam cake I made for New Year and the cake was stale by the end of it. Mostly just ate a sliver and the thick caramel icing.
I will go first. After a month of thinking about it 'because we already have 4 big bundt pans I broke down and bought the six inch one I've had my eye on. Now I want to take it for a test spin and completely failed to find recipes sized for it. In my surfing I read two interesting comments.
Cupcake recipes that make a single dozen are about the right size.
Half of a standard cake mix recipe is just about the perfect amount.
Toward that end I removed a lemon pound cake mix from the box and weighed the bag. Measured out half of it by weight and cut all the other ingredients in half. This in the result:

The box called for 50-55 minutes in a loaf pan. This cooked in 27 minutes @ 325. Oven vary; underestimate your time a test it as you go. The toothpick was very wet at 20 minutes and clean at 27.
This mix only weighed 400g total. Some will weigh more but with the closed horn on the pan there is some room to work with.
After cooling I made a glaze, the quality of which will be determined this evening.
This is the finished product:

I bought the pan from Wally World. It is Wilton and here it was less than $6. I think I am going to like this a lot.
So jump in and post some downsized desserts.
