Baking in a silicone pan makes it easier to take the cake out of it.
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 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.
Just baked an angelfood cake in a silicone bunt pan. did not even have to do the upsidedown on a bottle thing. It is beautiful. Can't wait to taste it.
1/2 full
You can use two cake recipes for that size pan.
A 16x16x2 cake pan has a volume of 512 cubic inches (16 x 16 x 2). Cake batter typically weighs about 0.5 to 0.6 ounces per cubic inch, so the pan can hold approximately 256 to 307 ounces of cake batter. This translates to around 16 to 19 pounds of batter, depending on the specific density of the cake recipe used.
6 cups for one layer
It will probably take 1-1/2 boxes. Fill the pan roughly half full & use the rest for cupcakes.
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.
How deep is the pan? 2" or 3"? It makes a huge difference.
