I love the Deluxe Devil's food cake recipe on the Softasilk cake flour box (and I have tried many recipes).  I frequently make it in an 11 x 15 pan.  1.5 times the recipe is perfect for that size pan.  For a half sheet cake (12 x 18)  doubling it should be perfect.  This has a very deep chocolate flavor, but is not dense.  It is also  easy to make.  For your size pan, I would recommend several heat core nails, and would wrap the outside with bake even strips.  Good luck!

 

I think it is OK to post it since it available on the internet.

It is! It's very good for stacking, carving and it's like a signature cake for weddings to.

This is the chocolate recipe I use for every chocolate order :)
