okay I'm sure this has been discussed but I can't find the info. If I want to make a half chocolate/ half vanilla cake in a round pan, will it work like it does in the sheet pan? I just pour the two batters in and it comes out just fine. I'm assuming a round pan will act the same, but you never know...Also, about how big of a pan do you need for the two mixes? I'm thinking a 12 in round.

thanks for the help!

I'm not sure about the half and half question for round cakes..But I know I have read on here that some people make a foil 'wall' to keep the mixes separate. So maybe that would work.

Also, 1 cake mix yields about 4-6 cups batter and a 12" round requires about 7 1/2 cups batter. So 2 mixes should be plenty!

Hope this helps!

I have never made Half and Half cake BUT I always make
Checkerboard Cake.. I would think the principle is the same.
You put a divider in the middle then pour both batters, then very slowly remove the divider. as long as your cake batters are not the
"runny" type , then they should not mix. icon_smile.gif

When separating the two mixes the foil (greased) would work. I've used waxed paper before but it was a smaller cake and it worked - never thought of using the foil. Thanks for the info thumbs_up.gif

If you're making a 2 layer cake, just do one layer in each flavor. Then, cut each layer in half and put the matching halves on top of each other. This way each half of the cake is a diffferent flavor, but it's easy to bake!
