How many boxes of cake mix will I need to fill an 11x15 pan? Also, I'm having a brain fart or something here, but should a pan be filled 1/2 way or 2/3 or what? TGIF! icon_wink.gif

Hi chocomama,

I use 2 1/2 boxes and fill 2/3 full.

If I need a higher layer cake, I collar the pan and add 3 boxes of mix thumbs_up.gif .

The 11x15 needs 11 cups of batter.

How many mixes will depend on what flavor and brand you use. Pilsbury and BC usually make 4 to 5 cups. DH makes 5-6.
