I using the 12x18 sheet pan for the first time. How many cake mixes does it take??
I use 2 and it usually takes 40 min at 325* for me
I was just looking for information like this...about 10 minutes ago. I used the search option, and found what I was looking for via another thread. (answer: 1 box per 10 in x 2 in round). However, does anyone know of a "chart" that might have this information? I have seen the chart that references cups of cake batter, but how many cups of batter are in a box of mix?
forgot to add i use two of those layers for my cake so a total of 4

A box of cake mix can make from 4-6 cups depending on the brand. I have measured Pillsbury, and if you make it according to the box directions, it is 4.5 cups. If I throw in a small box of pudding and an extra egg, it is 5 cups.
3 boxes .... That means a dozen eggs just for one layer of 12x18 cake. It's a lot for sure.
*What????* 3 cake mixes should only take 9 eggs at the most.
I have for years (25+) used Betty Crocker mixes; 2 whole eggs (yes, even in the white mixes); 1 1/4C water along w/a dash of vanilla in each mix.... so when you add one extra egg and a box of pudding you still are only using 9 eggs.
Try it....I bet you will prefere it with less eggs
why do you only use 2 eggs for a box of mix?

How much batter is in a mix depends on not only which mix, but what flavor you use. Also if you doctor a mix that will change how much you end up with.
BC and Philsbury usually make between 4-5 cups of batter. DH cake mix makes 5-6, with white cake being around 5 cups and golden butter being 6 cups. Chocolate and the others usually fall somewhere in the middle.
The best thing you can do is take notes when you use different mixes/flavors and keep that with your cake stuff where you can find it. Then you will have a better idea of what the brand/flavors make.
I never realized there was a significant difference between BC and DH. I am pretty much a BC person, because the stores in my area are constantly putting it on sale. But it also makes sense that if the DH makes more per mix then the ratio of 1 mix per 10inch would go up, and the chart does say, 1.5 mixes per 10 inch...exactly what I would expect. Good to know...
I will definitely start to pay attention as I start baking more. Since I am new to this, my experience is very, very limited.
On a side note, I chuckled, Kakeladi, when I read your post about using the whole egg even in white cakes. It reminded me of an incident just a couple weeks ago. Because we raise our own fresh, free run eggs, my girls produce yolks that are almost orange in color. A co-worker used them to make a white cake for our first Wilton class, and you would have sworn it was a yellow cake mix. She was not pleased...but it still tasted good!
I have 2 different 12x18 half sheet pans...one is 2" deep and takes 2 mixes, the other is 3" deep and will take 3 mixes.
kellym - If I use Pillsbury you say to add an extra egg and pudding mix. Is that one per pan? Also you do this on top of Pillsbury already having pudding and an extra egg?? Just making sure I have my facts straight before I start baking. And egg whites not the whole egg??
Next question..... what size cake board and box do I get for a 12x18 cake????
You can never have too much pudding
. When I doctor Pillsbury or Betty Crocker with pudding, the recipe is:1 box cake mix
1 small box pudding
4 whole eggs
1 1/4 cup water
1/2 cup oil
sorry to keep asking so many questions but is that for white and chocolate or which one??
