I've read on here how people make little cakes in tuna cans or other small cans. Just wondering if it would work in a big can. I just used a huge can of chicken stock and thought it would be the perfect thing to make a beer can cake. Has anyone tried this? Any suggestions or ideas if it would work?
I must be becoming an cake addict because now I'm looking at everything wondering how I can use it in cake decorating! 
I know that you can cook in the 10 3/4 oz cans. Theres an episode of Semi-homemade where Sandra Lee make Cranberry Can-cakes. I'll see if I can find it and post the cooking time.
ETA: Ok they're the 16 oz cans. 400 degree's for 25 to 30 minutes. It's muffin mix but I'm sure you could experiment and find the right temp for cakes.
Not sure if this will help, but I did a search on google for baking in coffee cans and came up with a couple of links- not exactly regular cake but I guess it does show that it can be done. I thought your beer can idea was awesome! I may just give it a whirl!

Hey - I've seen this mentioned before and have been looking at my cans thinking how many cool things I could make! My question would be - what do you do about the "lip" at the top of the can? I wouldn't even know where to start to get the thing off?!!! I don't think I could get a cake out of the can with the lip still on there! How does this work??
i made a cake once in what was originally a can of rotel tomatoes. the cake had a little heat to heat, didn;t realize that would transfer through to the cake, but it was kind of nice, like jalapeno jam.
