Two! But a word of advice, from my own experience, you need to use a heating core of some sort in the middle of the cake (most of us use upside down flower nails) with a cake that large. I also (this is my personal quirk) like to turn my cakes half way during baking toensure even rising in my oven.
You are going to have Soooooooo much fun!

I don't use a heating core or Bake Even strips or an upside down flower nail either and don't have problems. But some people like to use them and feel that it makes the centre cook at a faster pace and that you get a more level cake.
People use a greased and floured upside down flower nail that you make roses on, or even a few, in the cake centre to attact the heat to the centre.
I find that you need two cake mixes and a bit more, like a cup or so, to fill this size pan.

When you flip the cake out to cool, the nail will be on top. You can pull it out then. HTH!
