How much should you fill layer cake pans with batter?
Unless otherwise noted, filling pans around 2/3 full is the best practice. This leaves room for rising. For example, my vanilla cake recipe yields around 8 cups of batter which I divide between 3 9×2 inch round cake pans.
How do you calculate baking time when changing pan size?
Just increase the oven temp by 25 degrees F and decrease the bake time by a quarter. In this particular example, since your pan is 1 inch larger, more surface area will be exposed. The liquid in the cake batter will evaporate quicker, which means it will bake faster.
How much batter do you put in a cake mix?
One package cake mix yields about 4 cups batter.
What size is a 1/2 sheet cake pan?
Exactly half the size of full-sheet pans, half-sheet pans measure 18-by-13 inches, also with sides about one inch high. These are the pans we use most often in the Epicurious test kitchen, and it’s the go-to pan for those sheet-pan dinners you keep reading about.
Can you put 2 cake mixes in 9×13 pan?
The sheet pan closest to the right size for two boxes of cake mix is the common 9-inch-by-13-inch size. Two boxes of mix make slightly less batter, at 8 to 9 cups, so the cake will be slightly thinner than it would with the full amount of batter, and will likely take 8 to 10 minutes less.
How many boxes of cake mix do I need for a 2 layer cake?
Bake the two boxes (4 rounds) then choose the best three of the four rounds out of the oven. One standard box of cake mix (approximately 15-19 oz.) will make two 9″ layers. They will be on the thin side. Which ever cake mix you are looking at should tell you what size layers and how many it will make.
How many cake mixes do you need for a 12×18 cake pan?
I use 3 cake mixes for a 12×18. Be sure and post pics of your cake! I think there’s around 5 cups of batter in a cake mix. So that makes sense.

If I wanted to make a round cake with four, 7-inch cake layers, I would need about 1 batch of cake batter (2 1/2 cups per 7-inch layer, x 4 layers = 10 cups of batter) I highly recommend testing out a cake recipe ahead of time, to know how many cups of batter it makes, and how high it rises as it bakes.
How big is an 18×12 sheet pan?

Can you make a castle cake in a 12×18 Pan?
I need to make a castle cake and looking at my various pans I figured the quickest thing for me is to bake a 12×18 sheet cake and cut/stack instead of baking several layers of smaller cakes. I have never used my 12×18 pan before so I consulted the Wilton batter chart, which makes me a little confused.
