Can I put cake batter in a 12 oz. can and bake icon_rolleyes.gif If so, how long would it need to bake and should I put a flower nail in the bottom? TIA

I don't see why not. I've seen posts about "can cakes" quite frequently here. However I don't don't remember if I ever read about flower nails being used....I rather doubt it since the can is so small.

Here's a link to a little question about this on the Wilton forums http://www.wilton.com/forums/messageview.cfm?catid=8&threadid=94973

I've heard about this "can cakes" too but I'm not sure about the baking time, my guess would be the same time as a cupcake or maybe a few minutes more but check with a skewer and let us know please. About the nail I don't think is necesary because the can is small and it's a good heat conductor. Good luck with this! icon_wink.gif

I've baked in a can before. Be sure you fill it less than half way full or it will overflow and you will have a mess in your oven. Believe me, I know from experience lol! Bake at a low temp (325) and check it after about 15-20 minutes.
