Hi! I need to convert my 9 inch white velvet cake recipe to a 10 inch. When I do the math it comes up with weird fractions like 5/6 of a tsp or 5/6th of an egg. How do I interpret that?! Does anyone have a white velvet cake 10 inch recipe?

Hi iwoolsey,  That is a situation where I would make two full recipes, fill my 10 inch pans and use the left over batter for a 6 inch cake, or 8 inch depending on how much batter is left over.

I agree with Sandra... Here was my experience:

My cake conversion chart says to make 1-1/2 recipe for the 10" pan. I did it once & was quite short on the batter I needed to get a 2" layer. I needed to double the recipe, fill the pan(s) as needed. (Anything left over can be cupcakes or whatever you like.)

Hope this helps!

Thanks Everyone! I do have a recipe for a 2 layer 8in + 2 layer 6in (tiered cake). I may try this and see how much is left over. As an experiment.:)
