Wow i'm full of questions today!

I am making a 9x13 sheet cake Friday, the person wants vanilla pudding for filling.
I did a practice cake Monday, I used 8 cups of batter and I don't think it was tall enough.
I want to make 2 seperate layers and fill them instead of splitting one.
How much batter do you think it would take?
I want that cake to be about 3", and I don't want the layers to be hugh, 8 cups of batter or even 7 would be too much. what do you all think??

What I have done for the ones I have made recelty was I made one cake box and put it in the 9x13 pan and baked it. I made a total of 2 cakes and just put filling in between they were not too tall or too short. I think they were perfect. This is what I am going to do from now on when i have to make a 9x13 cake. I think one cake mix yeilds 5 maybe 5-1/2 cups of batter.

Just my opinion this is what worked for me.

thanks Jackie, this is actually what I was thinking of doing but wasn't sure if it would be enough batter. This is definatly what I will go with.
Thank you for your response!

I made a 9x13 cake but I cut it down for my baby bassinet cake. I used 2 cake mixes (about 8-9 cups of batter) and I torted each cake and then filled so I had 3 layers of filling and I though the height was perfect! It's in my photo gallery.
