Is there somewhere that will tell me how much batter for certain size pans.

I want to make a birthday cake this week and want to use one of my round pans, but I never know how much batter or boxes of cake mix I should use. I would rather know how many boxes of cake mix, vs batter.
Can you tell, I don't bake from scratch

Here you go...it's in cups though. One box of DH is about 4C.....not sure hwat brand you use though.

If I am NOT doctoring the mix, I can figure that ONE cake mix will do ONE 9 or 10" round. That makes a nice full layer that way! Hope that helps you!

(so if you want a 2 layer 9 or 10" cake, it will take 2 mixes)

goof9j, what size cake are you wanting to make? How many layers?

HAS ANYONE EVER PUT MORE THAN 1 MIX IN A 13x9 PAN?

I definatly put more than one mix in a 9x13 - that take about 1-1/2 mixes - fill the pan 2/3 - 3/4 full and then just bake another little cake or cupcakes with what may be left over.

thanks, that's what i needed to know. and oh by the way, i bought a 10x3" round wilton pan and on the back of the insert it tells exactly how many cups for all size pans. if I can locate it, i will send out the info.

That would be great. Thanks so much

There is a chart with the info on how many cups each pan takes on the wilton website.

Here is a few of the amounts I have:

ROUNDS
6" - 1/2mix
8" - 3/4 mix
9 and 10" - 1 mix
12" - 1-1/2 mixes
14" - 2 mixes

SQUARES
6" - 3/4 mix
8" - 1 mix
10" - 1-1/2 mixes
12" - 2 mixes
14" - 2-1/2 mixes

SHEETS
9x13 - 1-1/2 mixes
11x15 - 2 mixes
12x18 - 3 mixes

hope that helps!

The Duncan Hines site says that their mixes yield 5-1/2 cups of batter:
