I need to make two 10 inch layers, but only have one pan. Can I make the WASC recipe and let half the batter sit while the first layer is in the oven or should I halve the recipe and make two batches of batter?
TIA!

I've done it with other cake mixes, because I have plenty of single special shapes. Cover and put it in the refrigerator. When the first cake is out, I quickly wash the pan, prep it and bake the second cake. In effect, the batter is only sitting in the refrigerator about an hour-ish and I haven't noticed any difference in the two cakes. I've never tried leaving it much longer than that, so I dont know what kind of time limit until its lift expires.

recently had extra batter and no time to convert into cake.

(chocolate w/ sour cream, pudding, etc.)

left in KA bowl w/ plastic wrap on top and put in fridge.

TWO days later, I finally got round to baking it.

rose fine, tasted great.

yes, it can sit; I have had to let WASC batter sit inbetween cakes before and it still bakes a great cake. icon_smile.gif

I cover my KA mixer bowl with a damp towel and leave it on the counter. I have used the same batter to make a spiderman pan cake, then two six inch cakes, then a ball pan cake. Batter was fine! I leave it out all the time!

Okay - I'm so silly. The minute I'm done mixing I'm rushing around like freaking CRAZY trying to get the cake in the pans cuz I feel like I have a ticking time bomb on my hands and now y'all are telling me I can relax a little

Yes, Rachel... don't risk running around your kitchen and knocking something over icon_wink.gif All baking powder used these days (unless specifically labelled otherwise) is known as "double-action". That means it produces leavening gases when you add liquids, and again when you add heat. (I'm pretty sure I have Alton Brown to thank for that tidbit.)
