Item # 4063-35-250 is a 10 inch aluminum angel food cake pan with a formed center tube, 78 fl oz capacity—the full-size format most published angel food recipes are written for. The wide ring yields twelve to sixteen tall slices, and the disposable pan bakes, cools, sells, and gifts the cake with no rigid tube pan to wash or store.

Read a dozen angel food recipes and most of them specify the same pan: 10 inches, tube center, roughly ten cups of batter. Item # 4063-35-250 is that specification in disposable aluminum—a 78 fl oz ring that takes a full classic recipe without scaling, so bakeries, church kitchens, and grocery programs can run published formulas straight into a sell-in-the-pan format.
Scaling a foam cake is not just about volume. In a wider ring, the batter spans a greater distance from outer wall to tube, and the rise is taller relative to the width—so heat penetration to the mid-ring becomes the limiting factor. The formed center tube carries oven heat into the middle of the ring, and aluminum's fast conduction keeps the outer section from setting long before the center. The 3 1/8 inch wall holds the full climb of a 78 fl oz rise without batter cresting the rim.
Angel food cakes cool inverted so the foam structure sets under tension instead of collapsing. In this pan, bakers invert the ring over a bottle or rack through the tube opening, the same technique used with rigid pans. Once cool, the cake releases with a thin knife around the wall and tube—or it stays in the pan for sale, which is how most retail angel food cakes are actually merchandised.
A 10 inch ring portions into twelve to sixteen tall slices, which prices well as a whole-cake retail item and portions generously for church socials, potlucks, and celebration tables. For grocery bakeries, the pan merchandises under a dome lid with the golden top visible; for fundraising programs, the whole cake travels as a gift in its own pan.
Each case holds 250 pans at 24 lbs. The family covers the 8 inch format for smaller recipes and deep round pans without the tube for standard batters, so one supplier covers the full foam-cake and round-cake program.
