The CC cake mix extender recipe states that it yields three 9" cakes, but also seems to use only one cake mix. That would be 16 1/2 c. batter from one mix! Doesn't sound right to me, and I'm wondering if that's referring to a double batch as with the WASC. Can anyone tell me about how many cups of batter this makes using one mix, 1 c. flour, 1 c. sugar, etc.?
Here is the recipe:

I've used this for any cake flavour. The result is a terrific , moist and dense cake that is easy to frost and decorate. Tastes like scratch cakes. I get rave reviews everytime I make a cake. I've used it for other 18" or slab cake pans. All I do is make 2 mixes instead of the one. I make each mix individually and then stir them together in a large bowl prior to pouring in the pan.
Prepare cake mix as per package directions. In addition to this add,
1 egg
1 cup flour
250 ml (or 8 oz.) sour cream or yogurt (I prefer to use low fat yogurt)
1 cup white sugar
1/3 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla or other suited flavouring
Yes, the recipe should be corrected to read, "Yields 3 - 9" layers." It definitely doesn't yield 3 full cakes.
If memory serves me correctly (I make this all the time but usually in much greater quantities), this single batch will yield 8 - 9 cups of batter.

Yes, it makes (3) 9 inch layers..... I use this all the time as it is yummy and a reliable recipe. For some reason I perfer to use the yogurt with white cakes and sourcream with chocolate. I also sub some cocoa for some of the flour when doing chocolate.
This is the exact recipe I use too. I haven't tried it with the yogurt yet though, I'm going to make my DH a spice cake w/crusting cream cheese icing this afternoon, think I might try it today. I get 3 - 9" single cakes from this recipe.
"... All I do is make 2 mixes instead of the one. I make each mix individually and then stir them together in a large bowl prior to pouring in the pan. "
It says above to make 2 mixes--doesn't that mean use 2 boxes of cake mix but do them in separate bowls and add the extender to both of them?? That's the way I understand it...???
Yeah,,, i was confused by that too. What I do is just use one cake mix and follow instructions on box for oil, eggs, and waters.....and then on top of that add the extra egg, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup flour, 8 oz sourcream or yogurt.
