I have no idea but here's a bump for you and good luck

I never measure my batter, I just fill until it's about 2/3 full. Here's a bump.

www.wilton.com will tell you the amounts of batter per pan size.

I found this information on the pillsbury site. Hope it helps

Pan Size Cake Batter Bake Time
6-inch round 2 cups 45-55 min.
8-inch round 4 cups 50-60 min.
10-inch round 6 cups 55-65 min.
12-inch round 9 cups 55-65 min.
14-inch round 12 cups 55-65 min.
16-inch round 16 cups 65-75 min.
16 x 11 x 1½-inch sheet cake 9 cups 30-40 min.
18 x 12 x 2-inch sheet cake 14 cups 40-50 min.

Do most people measure or just fill it around 1/2-2/3 full?

Here is the Wilton link.

You don't need to measure. Just fill to 2/3 full with freshly made batter. If you use batter that's been sitting around for an hour or more, it will be puffy and give a false-full reading. If you have to do it this way, just weigh the first panfull (or measure as you fill) and use that measurement for the remaining pans.
