How many tablespoons in a cake mix?

Answer 1

The number of tablespoons in a cake mix can vary depending on the brand and specific recipe. Typically, a standard cake mix may require around 10-12 tablespoons of mix to make a single cake. It's important to refer to the instructions on the packaging or recipe to determine the exact amount needed for your specific cake mix.

Answer 2

You shouldn't just add flour to the cake mix to stretch it to a third layer, that would upset the delicate balance of flour, protein, acid, leavening agents, and the like. The result wouldn't be good, either from a texture or a taste standpoint. If you want a third layer on your cake, buy an extra box of cake mix and use half of it for the third layer, or buy a bulk cake mix bag from Costco or Smart n' Final, and make the three layers according to the recipe on the bag.
