I was just getting ready to make the hershey's chocolate cake for some company for tomorrow and I see that the recipe calls for 2 9" rounds. I was wanting to make a 9x13 pan. I know somewhere it says all of the amounts of batter needed for each size but I'm kind of panicking - I must get this done NOW (I work the farmer's market early in the morning and will be sick by the time company comes if I don't get some sleep! 
) Can I just use the 9x13?
Can someone help me? Should I just quick find another recipe??
That's fine. I use 2 9" rounds in place of a 9x13... or vice versa.
ON just a box mix of cake it tells you what combinations you can make with that cake and it tells you that you can get 2- 8" (round)cakes, or 2-9" round cakes, or a 9" x 13" or 24 cupcakes. So I believe that you will have no problem doing your cake either way.
I use that recipe - it bakes pretty flat - and dents in a little in the middle. To me it gives a really short 9x13 - so if I'm doing a single layer 9x13, I use one and a half of the recipe or if I'm filling it, I just bake two 9x13 cakes - each with one recipe. Filled and iced it gives me a 4" tall cake! I hope that helps!!!
It was really good - but like caymancake said, it does really bake flat! Torting it was interesting, but it actually worked well. The cake/frosting-filling ratio was heavy towards the frosting-filling, but no one ever complains about that! But next time I will just make two cakes. I actually wanted to keep it as an "in the pan" cake so I didn't have to get fancy with the sides and have a special serving platter for it. It went back into the cake pan well (just a cute spatterware enamel pan)
