lol...you have the 8 or the 9 in?
I wanna start baking my cakes using the baking sheets... like the girls at Cake Alchemy do... so you always get a 1 in. layer and you can use cake rings to cut to size....
I have the baking sheets but not sure how much batter to add so it raises to an even 1 inch... maybe I need to ask here... lol... I know if anyone has the answer... it's cc!
I have 9 inch rounds. I'm baking a cocconut cake for my family for tomorrow, and I have to use 2 mixes (4 layers) just to have a decent looking stacked cake. A single cake mix produces about a 1 to 1.5 inch layer per 9 inch pan. A 2 layer cake ends up looking just plain sad. 
Yeah, it's crazy.
Have you tried the WASC (white almond sour cream) recipes? There are a ton of variations - and 1/2 a batch will make a 4" high 8" cake or a whole batch will make a 4" high 10" cake. I don't remember if there's a coconut version, but here's a link to a doc that has lots of variations.

Here's a link to the thread that discusses them:

Why is it that the most basic cake pan size (talking reg. store bought pans) is the 9 inch pan, but the basic cake box mixes are really formulated for 8 inch pan size...
Brought to you by the same people who can't get the hot dogs and the hot dog buns to match.

Hmmm... so you ended up having to buy twice as much cake mix from them, huh? Hmmmmm.... interesting how that worked out, isn't it? Cha-CHING for them! 
It's a conspiracy, I tell ya! A conspiracy!!
