I am looking for a good cake recipe that goes beyond - yes it can be doubled. I often find myself, here lately, having to make cakes for 200+ and flat out refuse to use a mix. Does anyone have a good recipe that makes more than say 6-10 cups of batter?
Tried searching this site - maybe I'm using wrong keywords icon_smile.gif

I have a book by Toba Garrett called The Well-Decorated Cake that had a High-Yield Yellow Cake mix in it. I'll try to scan it into my computer and pm it to you. Hope it can help!! (I've never tried it though, so I can't say how it tastes, but if it's Toba's it's got to be great!!

Hi KP,

I believe that even most of the recipes that are out in the books make about 10 cups of batter. You can try doubling your recipes, but you may have to play a little with this because when you double or triple the recipes, sometimes the measurements through off the cake a bit. You may have to experiment a bit. Good luck! thumbs_up.gif

The Cake Bible also has some high yield recipes.

Thanks!. Got one good one - that was great. I have played with several recipes - as I was always told "baking is chemistry - cooking is anarchy"
