I've got a bowl of angel food cake mix and one 8.5-inch loaf pan. The recipe says I should put 1/3 of the mix into that size pan. However, I'm quite bad at estimating thirds in cases like this, when stuff is in a single large bowl.
I don't want to end up with three uneven cakes. Any tips for measuring out what one-third of the batter would be?

You need three identical containers, which most be people don't have in baking stuff - like measuring cups.
So get three identical drinking glasses which most people have and pour the batter a little bit at a time into each one bringing them up even. Then pour and scrape out one glass for each cake. You will lose a lttle bit sticking to the glasses, depending on how well you scrape.
If you make this mix often, take one of the glasses and put the contents in a measuring cup and make note of the volume so you can scoop out the right amount from the bowl without using the glasses.

measure how many cups of cake batter you have and divide by three; just say you have 12 cups of cake batter divided by 3 =4 so each loaf pan will get 4 cups.

You measure how much batter there is {or it can be on the bow} and you divide it in three. Then you take a measuring cup and you put it into its parts.
