How Many Cups Of Smbc/imbc Can Fit In 5 Qt Ka Bowl?

i just read in one of my books today that you can double (whimsical bakehouse maybe) a cake recipe from the book in a five quart mixer. most of the recipes yield 8 to 9 cups of batter. i dont know though, double that for smbc seems like it'd be flyin all over the place. i'd say do a recipe that yields no more than 10 cups at a time. last week i made a 5 cup recipe and it filled maybe a third of my bowl. (5 qt mixer)
a quart if 4 cups, and so that would mean the capacity is 20 cups, filled to the brim. but you need the extra height of the bowl so your meringue doesnt splash out. plus the whisk attachement you need to use will be taking up space and you really need the air incorporated into the icing. if you fill it above the attachment, there wouldnt be as much air mixed it, i imagine.
Thank you very much!!! Yes, Melysa... I knew the technical amount bowl would hold but being able to work it ...get the air in, etc. is exactly what I was wondering about. Sounds like about 10 cups is right! Thanks Kory! I feel better now..... Kory, how much does that yield you?
I'm not sure exactly how much that yield me, cause I usually make about 6 of those batches for a weekend and transfer em all to a large bowl. I would say that the whites come to within 2" of the rim, then the butter gets it to about w/in 1", but it comes back down to 2" after it is really whipped together. This is the max I make in this bowl.
Yes, you can split the batch and flavor it separately once it is completely together.
Thanks Kory....
I have heard that you can substitute some hi ratio for the butter. It does compromise the taste a bit. Shirley would tell you not to.... I have heard it stabilizes it more though. I wouldn't do all high ratio though I'm sure you could....
