If you are using a 2" deep cake pan you would need 13.5 cups of batter.

It depends on how deep the cake pan is.
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.

1/2 full
You can use two cake recipes for that size pan.
This occurs because the batter is spread out and cooks faster. The batter is basically less in each cup than it is in a whole cake pan. So, the cake bakes more quickly.
It will probably take 1-1/2 boxes. Fill the pan roughly half full & use the rest for cupcakes.
How deep is the pan? 2" or 3"? It makes a huge difference.
