You've obviously never baked a cake... cake batter does not get filled to the
top of the pan nor do all cake batters fill alike so it cannot be assumed that
any one cake batter fill formula works for all... like I said, you're no baker.

That said even if a recipe indicates at what level to fill a ten inch tube pan
it cannot be assumed that miniature pans are to be filled to the same level (or
proportionately by volume). Cake batter does not expand linearly by volume.
Essentially one needs to interpolate based on past experience (if any) and
experiment.
