I am always wondering how much batter to make, and I was wondering if there is some kind of guideline on how much batter goes in to a pan. Example a 10x3 pan. How do you calculate? Is that even possible since different batters raise differently.

thanks.!

Here is a link to wilton for 3" deep pans. There is also a chart for 2" deep pans - just click Making Cakes in the left menu to find it.

Hope this is what you're looking for![/url]

I could not find what I wanted for a guide. So, I just took the cake pan I was planning on baking and just started adding water by the cup. That told me how much batter it would take to fill the cake pan. HTH
