I Found This Cool Pan, Can I Use This For Making Cakes?
Decorating By lipbalmcollector Updated 27 May 2007 , 3:16am by lipbalmcollector
Or is it only supposed to be used for a roast pan.? I found them at Ross and they were made of teflon and look like they are way better made then the wilton ones Ive seen at Michaels and were less expensive too.
The pan is 17.2 inches by 12.7 inches by 2.7 inches.
Do you think it would be ok to bake a cake in it?
If so how many people do you think it would serve?
and how long would you cook the cake?
Honey, if you can cook cake in flower pots, soup cans, tuna tins and hard candy molds you certainly can cook it in a roasting pan. You feed however many an 11x9 would feed plus some extra people. Sorry for the bad guess there, I got a nasty cold and don't want to think to hard.
btt-
does anyone know how long I would could this size of cake?
how many boxes of mix to use?
and where can I get the thingy to make it cook evenly?
I looked in articles. This was the closest I could find. I was looking for a 12x18 pan, which I own, but no rectangles were on the list. It takes 2 cake mixes if you use wasc or 3 if you don't.
For your heating core take a couple of rose nails and spray with oil and turn them upside down in the pan pointy side up. When you dump your cake out you just pull out your nails and only have a tiny hole in your cake.
Cake Baking, Cutting & Serving Guide - 2 in. Deep Pans
Baking Times, Batter Amounts & Number of Servings
One cake mix yields 4 to 5 1/2 cups of batter. Pans are usually filled 1/2 to 2/3 full; 3" deep pans should be filled only 1/2 full. Batter amounts on these charts are for pans 2/3 full of batter. For large cakes, always check for doneness after they have baked for 1 hour.
Note: For Pans 11" and larger, use a heating core when baking.
The charts below show baking information and serving amounts for both 2-inch pans and 3-inch high pans. The figures for 2-inch pans are based on a 2-layer or 4-inch depth cake. The figures for 3-inch pans are based on a 1-layer cake which has been torted and filled to reach a 3-inch depth.
The serving amounts listed are based on party-sized portions of approximately 1-1/2 x 2 inches or wedding-sized portions which are cut smaller, about 1 x 2 inches. You may wish to cut larger or smaller pieces, depending on whether you are using a 4-inch layer or a 3-inch layer.
The number of servings given is meant as a guide only.

thanks Mary
Bumping it to the top to see if anyone else has any ideas or if they think 325 degrees will work for 40-45 min
you could take a cup measure and see how many it takes to fill it to 1/2 or 2/3 full. A cake mix makes between 5 1/2 to 6 cups of batter. Depending on how deep it is would depend on how long you bake it too. Bake a cake in it for this Memorial Day holiday and see how it comes out. If all else fails with it....make cake balls.
cake rn is there a chart for how many cups it takes/baking time here on the site?
