I'm baking a cake this weekend, and I've never done one this big before. It's a Fat Dadio pan that is 11 x 11 x 2. I do have the BakeEasy strips, which I plan to use. Do I still bake @ 325 degrees? For approximately how long before I start checking w/ a toothpick? Thanks for your help. Oh, and will the WASC (with oil) recipe be enough to fill this one pan?

I would bake it at 325 and start checking it between 30 and 35 minutes. It will probably take a bit longer, but you will have an idea how much longer at that point.

Wow, Frotusbush. 35 minutes? You must have an amazing oven!

I would bake at 325 and start looking at it at 50 minutes, at which time it will probably not look anywhere near done, so I won't bother opening the oven. But at least I am now keeping an eye on it.

I have never used Fat Daddio pans, however, I'd still suggest placing a flower nail in the center. In my Magic Line pans, I use a flower nail for 9 inches and larger.

I think that full recipe is going to b e more than you need for that size pan. Well maybe *just* a bit more.
A 12 sq uses 2&1/2 mixes so the 11 sq should use a bit less. Fill the pan 2/3rds full.
I would think 30 minutes is not near long enough....bake it until you can smell that wonderful smell in the next room before you check it It can take up to an hour for that size to bake.

Not necessarily an amazing oven - I`m just paranoid . I see dry cake in my nightmares. Also my oven temp can fluctuate a bit as I am at the end of a long run of power lines.

kakeladi is right -- unless you are baking in a room with 18 foot ceilings like I do. By the time I smell the cake, it's been out of the oven and cooling for 10 minutes.

I like Wiltons baking core, probably about the only thing from Wiltons that I do like. For me it works way better than baking strips and flower nails.

I know that my 8" layers are never done before 40-45 minutes, so I'm assuming I'll be closer to an hour on this one. Thank you so much for your help! I will add the nail to my baking, since I don't have the core.
