FormulaMapsCosting calculator
Adjust the weight in grams and the price per kg of each ingredient and press calculate. The starting values already give a balanced genoise sponge cake.
How the costing of a sponge cake is calculated
The costing adds up the real cost of each ingredient (its weight in kg multiplied by its price per kg) and divides it by the total weight of the batter to get the cost per kg. From there, multiplying that cost by the weight of one portion gives you the cost of that portion, which compared with your selling price gives you the real margin on each sale. A negative margin means you are selling below cost.
