How can I measure cake batter? i've tried using a cup before, but it seems like a lot of the batter just gets stuck on the cup.......... Any ideas? 
I do not have a scale............. future purchase maybe, but there are so many other things to purchase!!!
I've wondered that also. I tried to use a cup, but thought that it was a pain to scrape. I have a scale that has a bowl, but then you have to scrape the bowl. Currently, I just fill the pan a bit more than half and cross my fingers. I'm sure someone has a better method!
Well, you answered your own question. The scale would be the way to go.
However, you could probably speed things up by using a wonder cup instead of a regular measuring cup! (Have you tried greasing the measuring cup?)

Although I'm sure you can find them cheaper anywhere else.
BTW - I have a nice kitchen scale that I got at Service Merchandise (yeah, it's that old) for under $20 - and it really does speed things up!
Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Try this link. It has a 2 qt. measuring cup from pyrex. I have one and I love it for measuring large amounts and it is so easy to scrape. HTH
When I have measured before used my 4 cup pyrex measuring cup. I also have a 8 cup 'bowl' from pamper chef.
Once you learn how much your mix/flavor makes you can usually eyeball it.
