In cazul tavilor patrate sau dreptunghiulare blaturile nu voi iesi atat de inalte
dar pot fi taiate pe lung (sau pe lat) si se pot suprapune ulterior.

Pentru tava de 30 x 40 cm � inaltime 2,5 � 3 cm � blat din 9 oua (450 g) + 225 g

zahar tos + 169 g faina + 56 g cacao (+ vanilie + sare) � blatul se poate taia pe
lung obtinand 2 dreptunghiuri inguste de 15 x 40 cm sau pe lat, obtinand 2
dreptunghiuri de 30 x 20 cm. Fiecare dreptunghi se va taia in grosime obtinand 2
foi groase de 1-1,5 cm. In total rezulta 4 foi pentru tort.

Pentru tava de 20 x 30 cm � inaltime 2,5- 3 cm � blat din 5 oua (250 g) + 125 g

zahar tos + 93 g faina + 32 g cacao (+ vanilie + sare). Prin taierea in grosime se
obtin 2 foi pentru tort. Daca aveti nevoie de mai multe foi va trebui sa coaceti
separat 2 sau 3 blaturi.
