I need to know how to calculate how much batter I need for a 12x16x3 rectangle pan and 2 12x3in round pans. I thought about just scooping out water into them to calculate how many cups of batter, but batter is thicker so wouldn't that off some what? Is there a place to find out how much batter is recommended? These are magic line pans if that makes any difference.
The Wilton serving charts give info on batter and frosting amounts, baking temp. according to pan size:

There was a thread on here a few months ago that said to fill your pan with water measure the amount and subtract 1/3 to get the amount of batter you'll need. I thought this was very good info to have juast in case, but I haven't tried it yet.

I thought I remembered something about hat thread, but I was unable to find it. Thanks everyone.
