I was wondering how much cake mix do some of you use in your 9-inch round Wilton pans.
Everytime I have made cakes in them, they don't come out very thick. So just wondering if maybe I am not getting enough mix poured in each pan.

I've never measured how much batter, but I use two doctored mixes when I make 9" cakes. I like my cakes nice and high and one mix doesn't cut it. I would use the extra batter to make cupcakes or sample cakes.

HTH

I just ran into this today...used one doctored mix with the cake extender and the cakes were pretty flat. I re-made them with 2 doctored mixes and they are the perfect height.

That must be the problem. I am just using one mix and the cakes are always flat. Going to rebake the ones from last night with two mixes and try try again.
Thanks for the help!

I most definitely agree......one mix is not enough for two 9" cake pans.

I guess if you need it after you made this mistake, you could tort them.

I had the same problem and using 2 mixes makes a huge difference.

I use a 9" round that's 3" high and I use one mix with the extender recipe on here and it works perfectly it rises just above the pan and when it comes out I put a cookie sheet on top of it and smash it down level with the sides of my cake pan and hold it for a min. then remove it and my cake is perfectly level and exactlly 3" high..........which when it's torted almost looks like a 2 layer cake with a lot less effort since I only have one of each of my sizes of pans

Where did you find the extender recipe on here. I can't seem to find it, or am just not looking for the right thing.

Please, What is the extender recipe and the doctored up mix? Where are they posted? Thanks Much

I have the same question. What is extender recipe?

Here's an enhanced recipe

http://www.cakecentral.com/cake_recipe-1599-800-Enhanced-Cake-Formula.html

ninkysue, this is the extender recipe I use and I just love it, especially love the extra batter

1 cup plain flour
1 cup sugar
1/3 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla

Thanks KittisKakes! I think this will help me alot!

Here's something else I found on Wilton's website

You add all the ingredients of your regular boxed mix recipe.

Then you add:

1 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup milk/water
1/2 cup oil
1 tsp. baking powder

1 cake recipe with the extender will fill (2) 9" pans.
1 cake recipe with the extender will fill (1) 12" pan.

Thanks very much. I am sure that any of these recipes will bake up better than what I have been doing with just the one cake mix. Can't wait to try it out. Thanks again for the help!

Thanks for the great information, I've added it to my recipe file.

Best,
