A couple of years ago, I got frustrated by the different types of measurement, so I compiled a list together to refer to whenever I start to bake. Most of the information here came from the ever-inspirational Cafe Fernando. I've added a few of my own, and would continue to update this list as I go along.
Some recipes like pies (or even cakes!) specify a pan size, which is important to adjust for when making batter, dough and filling. The formula I use for cakes is (Amount of Ingredient - gram or ml) / (Diameterspecified pan size)2 x (Diameteryour pan size)2.
