Does anyone out there in CC land measure the number of servings that a cake will yield by the number of cups of batter that are used in the pans? To me this seems like a really consistent way to figure out servings, but I'm wondering how many servings one might get out of a cup of batter. Any insight??

I never measure batter by cups, but I do know that 7 cake mixes makes my 3-tier cake for 100+; I know that 3 cake mixes serves 54 in a 12x18 pan (or 50 in a 10" round plus a 6" round).

I think I read somewhere to consider 1/4c batter as a serving, hope that helps!

I go by Earlene's serving chart, and it works out to 2 servings per cup of batter (two 8" rounds take 7.5 cups of batter and an 8" round 2-layer serves 15).
