I'm wanting to bake a soccer ball birthday cake for my daughter at the weekend. I've googled a few & people have made a round cake using a deep "bowl".Does anyone know if a stainless mixing bowl would be OK to bake a cake in?Be interesting to see how long it takes for the middle to cook- and if the top burns before the middle is cooked@!TIA

That'll be fine-place a sheet of foil loosely over the top of the bowl to avoid scorching.

Might be more predictable if you bake it in two bowls and put the halves together.

What ellihen said, Be sure to spray or grease the bowl first and I use some baking paper in the bowl too. Cut some FL:APS in the paper so it sits in the bowl better. Dont forget to post a pic when its all done, please. You can also use a steam pud bowl or a pyrex mixing bowl.

I presume you are doing as elliehen said, I have done this for a kiwifruit cake and it turned out fine, and I am rubbish at baking! I think I did put some foil on partway through.

When I use my stainless bowls, I make sure I reduce the cooking temp ( if recipe states 180C I alter to 160-170C and increase cooking time by 20-30mins).

Yep....never been a problem....used to make Dolly Varden cakes for little girls (centuries ago) that was half a round cake with a doll stuck in the top when done.....then iced all over.....used to look lovely

I bake in all sorts of things. Never did figure out why you need special equipment.
