I am sorry if this has been posted before - the search function on the forums is not working...
I need to make a sheet cake for about 50-55 people for a cake auction that I offered a cake for. I do not typically do sheet cakes so the only pans I have are 9x13" and 9x9" (and I do not want to invest in a new pan if possible as I never make sheet cakes).
My original thought was if a 9x13" make about 24 brownies then I could place 2 side by side making a 18"x13" single layer cake. But is this too big a cake?
Could you let me know what you think? Should I do a smaller cake and do it double layer (I like the way double layer cakes look better anyways).
Any help would be greatly apprieciated!
Typically I make a 12X18 to generously serve about 54, if you don't want to get a new pan I would suggest 2 9X9's which would serve about the same. I also torte my sheet's though so they go a little further. If you torted 2 9X9's you would have 54 servings. If it's for a donation perhaps two different cakes in different flavors to showcase your flavors. Be sure to supply business cards or some type of sign if this is a donation as you can also use it as a tax deduction.

Sorry, but two 9x9s is only a 9x18.

Thank you Mike, you are correct but one 9X9 torted serves 27 so double that for two 9X9 cakes as suggested and you get 54 servings.

I go off Earlene's serving chart which is more generous than Wilton's.
Are you talking a two LAYER 9x9? If so, then two 9x9's would actually be FOUR cakes, if they are 2 layer.
To get 27 servings, you'd have to cut the 9x9x9 cake in 9 rows by 3 columns. On a single layer cake, that's 1x2x3" (pieces cut in 1x3" and they would be 2" tall) .... 6 cubic inches.
A 2-layer cake, when cut in industry standard 1x2x4 (8 cubic inches), would be cut in approx 4 rows by 9 columns or approx 36 servings.
I do not yet have a "half sheet" (12x1
pan, so when I need to do a "half sheet" (which is rare), I make two "quarter sheets" (9x13) and put them long side by long side, using some icing to help glue the edges together. Actually I bake 4 cakes total, as I make my sheet cakes 2 layers.
Hi
If you are using a cake tin 9x13 and making a recipe from scratch how many repetitions of the recipe should i make?
. 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting . 2 cups sugar . 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (packaging divided by 5) . 2 teaspoons baking soda . 1 teaspoon baking powder . 1 teaspoon kosher salt . 1 cup buttermilk . 1/2 cup vegetable oil . 2 large eggs . 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract . 1 cup freshly brewed hot coffee
Thanks
