It depends on how deep the cake pan is.
6 cups for one layer
10-12 cups of batter
On the back of the cake mix box it might say. Im not exactly sure what you mean by that... so this link might help. http://www.wilton.com/cakes/making-cakes/baking-party-cake-3-inch-pans.cfm
To find the value of a fraction, divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). 1/8 equals .125. 1/10 equals .1. The bottom number (denominator) represents how many equal pieces something has been divided up into. For example 1/8 could refer to a cake cut into 8 equal pieces. Now imagine that same cake being cut into 10 equal pieces. the piece 1/10 th is going to be smaller than the piece from the cake cut into 8 pieces.

How deep is the pan? 2" or 3"? It makes a huge difference.
One does not bake cake pans. Cake batter is poured into cake pans and then the cake is baked in the pan. A cake in a 10" pan is baked like any other cake, in a moderately hot oven (325 - 350 degrees F) until it tests done. Because the batter in the center of a 10" pan takes longer to bake than the batter nearer to the edge, it can be helpful to use the lower range of suggested temperatures. Another useful hint is to tie a dampened rag around the outer edge of the cake pan. This keeps the outer edge slightly cooler and allows the cake batter to heat more evenly throughout.

There are 11 cups of batter in an 11x15 pan for a 2 inch layer. I would guess for an 11x13, maybe 10 cups?
There are many ways to do so. To ensure easy removal, you should be sure to prep the cake pan before you pour the cake batter in to bake. You can do this by using a butter-and-flour technique, buttering the pan, or by using a non-stick baking spray. After the cake is done baking, let it rest for about 10 to 15 minutes (longer if it is a larger-than-average sized cake) on a cooling rack or elevated area (so that air can flow all around and underneath the cake pan). You can run a butter knife along the edge of the cake and pan to loosen the edges. Gently flip the cake over onto a flat, cool surface or a drying rack and the cake should emerge easily and cleanly.
An 8 inch round cake pan will hold 4 cups. A 9 inch will take 6 cups, a 10 inch holds 11 cups. A 12 inch pan will hold between 14 to 16 cups, that is about one box of a cake mix. Well, I'm no expert, in fact I was searcing for an answer to a similar question. But I know for a fact that a cake mix is NOT 14-16 cups, I'ts probably more like...4-6 cups. I usually mix my cake mixes in a pampered chef measuring bowl which holds 10 cups total and it's only about half full when I'm done. So....I think we need to do some more research! Well I guess it just depends on what brand use. I use Betty Crocker and you have to add water, eggs and vege oil so it actually turns into quite a bit. I am neither one of the people above. I'm not taking sides but I think its about 8-11 cups. I think 16 is way to much and 4 is just silly.
