Naturals® Layer Cake Pan

Layer cakes live or die by whether the layers actually match. This aluminum pan from Nordic Ware bakes flat, even rounds every time, so stacking and frosting is the easy part.

The details

The pan is pure, uncoated aluminum, a material Nordic Ware relies on because it conducts heat so evenly there are no hot spots to bake around — just consistent, golden layers straight through. Every size in the line shares the same 2.5" depth, and the rim is reinforced to resist warping over years of use, so a pan you buy today should still be baking true a decade from now.

Because the surface is naturally releasing rather than coated, there's nothing to wear off or scratch away — butter, flour, or parchment paper is all it needs. It's PFAS-free, made in America, and backed by Nordic Ware's lifetime warranty, the same as the rest of the Naturals line.

Choose your size

The 4" pan is built for mini and tiered cakes, one or two servings at a time. The 6" bakes a compact two- or three-layer cake perfect for small gatherings. The 8" is the standard layer cake size most recipes are written for. The 10" and 12" scale up for larger celebration cakes and bigger crowds.
