Springform pan vs. regular cake pan
Can a regular cake such as from a cake mix be baked in a springform pan? If so, will the results be the same as a normal cake pan?
Best Answer
Absolutely!
"Regular" or springform pans is in my experience partly a cultural difference: In Germany you might have trouble to find a non-springform pan.
As long as the diameter is the same, you can freely substitute one for the other.
There is one exception, though: Most springform pans aren't watertight, so for a cheesecake in a water bath, you should either choose a regular pan (and face the trouble with unmolding) or see here for how to tighten them.

If your recipe calls for a 10-inch springform pan, a 9\xd713 pan, 9-inch tube pan or 10-inch Bundt cake pan would be good substitutes. You can also use multiple pans for the batter, though you'll need to double the crust. Two deep-dish pie plates, 9-inch cake pans or 8\xd74-inch loaf pans would all work well.The Best Cake Pans | Ring vs. Removable bottom vs. Springform vs. Silicone Mold
