Ba-bam! My new fave for chocolate! Thanks for posting that swartz! thumbs_up.gif

Just popped them out of the oven. The recipe as is, yielded for me two 6" pans, and one 8" all filled 2/3 full, came out nice flat and level with the top of the pan..perfect!, and about an 2/3 inches of batter left over that I put in another 8" pan, for me to munch on!

So, I will double the recipe for the next round, to get the remaining two 10" pans and one 8" for my project.

Very, very , VERY good cake!!

I'm going to try you cake recipe. Toba Garrett has a yellow cake recipe with buttermilk but I found it to dense and dry. I will give this a try and let you know.




I tried the recipe but I found it abit to dense. I like a more fluffier cake.

Glad you liked it Jamie! I hopped on to see what I'd posted with pan fills because I'm getting ready to calculate using it for a wedding cake and saw your post. That is exactly what I needed to see! Thanks to you too! icon_biggrin.gif
