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.
It depends on how deep the cake pan is.
1/2 full
The capacity of cake pans can vary based on their size and depth. Generally, a standard 9-inch round cake pan holds about 6 cups of batter, while a 6-inch round pan holds around 3 cups. For Wilton heart-shaped cake pans, the smaller 6-inch pan typically holds about 3 cups of batter, while the larger 9-inch heart pan can hold around 6 to 7 cups, depending on the specific model and depth. Always check the packaging or manufacturer's guidelines for precise measurements.
15 cups of batter. bake at 325 degrees for 75-85 minutes. Use a baking core.
For a 14 by 2 inch round cake pan, you'll typically need about 6 to 8 cups of batter, depending on the specific recipe and desired cake height. A standard cake recipe usually yields around 2 to 3 cups of batter for a smaller pan, so you may need to adjust or double the recipe accordingly. Always check for doneness by inserting a toothpick or cake tester in the center; it should come out clean when the cake is done.
Just fill each pan a little over halfway full so it will have plenty of room to rise
If you are using a 2" deep cake pan you would need 13.5 cups of batter.
You should order for only 90% of your guests. Some people will not eat the cake. So again, only order for 90% - in your case that means 12 people or one cake box mix - or one 9 inch round/square cake.
1/2 way filled
For an 8-inch square cake pan, you typically need about 4 to 5 cups of cake batter, depending on the recipe. This amount allows for a proper rise and ensures the cake bakes evenly without overflowing. It's always a good idea to check the specific recipe you're using, as some may have variations in the required batter volume.
For a 12x12x3-inch cake pan, you'll need approximately 9 to 10 cups of cake batter. This is based on the volume of the pan, which is about 432 cubic inches. Depending on the recipe and the density of the batter, adjusting slightly may be necessary, but this amount should fill the pan adequately without overflowing.
For a 16-inch square cake pan, you typically need about 12 to 14 cups of cake batter. This amount ensures the batter fills the pan to a suitable level without overflowing during baking. It's important to leave some space for the cake to rise, so filling the pan about two-thirds full is ideal. Adjust the recipe as needed based on the specific ingredients and desired cake height.
