I have a really old recipe for my great grandmother's pumpkin cake that I'd like to make into a 1/2 sheet cake for the family Thanksgiving. But the recipe calls for a bunt cake pan. Does anyone think the recipe will fail if I use regular cake pans?

Thanks!

I make sheet cakes, rounds and cupcakes with all my bundt recipes. They all turn out fine, just watch your times.

Bundt pound cake recipes which rely soley on creamed eggs for leaveners don't always rise well in large pans (since the tube assists rising):

(But the addition of baking powder can correct this.)
