Number Of Cups Of Batter For A Half Sheet?
Decorating By drdm99 Updated 31 Jul 2009 , 10:09pm by maryj
Can anyone help me with the number of cups of batter that will make a half sheet cake (11x15)? I need a slightly larger cake than the usual 9x13 I normally make, but I am not sure how to change my recipe. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Debbie
Thank you for the clarification. I kept seeing both 11x15 and 12x18 listed as half sheets on a few sites that I searched. Can you clarify how many cups of batter the 18" would take? Also, is there a sure fire way of baking to ensure it bakes evenly?
The amount of batter depends from recipe to recipe. Is it a box mix? doctored mix? scratch?
The recipe is a scratch chocolate recipe. Shouldn't the pans require the same number of cups no matter what kind of recipe you use?
It takes 2 box mixes. I would at least double the scratch recipe and fill pan 2/3 full, bake at 325 for about 35, then check it for doneness. I do that for all of my 11 x 15 cakes. I also use bake even strips pinned together to fit around the pan.
