Converting Cupcake Recipe To 2-6 Inch Cake Recipes
Decorating By aleiaw Updated 21 Dec 2013 , 4:44pm by MimiFix
AHello! I plan on making a 4 layer 6 inch cake (2 layers per cake baked) as a centerpiece for a dessert table. The recipe I have is for a white cake that makes 32 regular cupcakes. I was wondering will I have to double (or halve) the recipe?
I am not entirely sure how to convert recipes.
Thanks a bunch!
A recipe that makes 24 cupcakes would make two 6" rounds so I'm guessing you will have *just* enought for 3 w/your recipe. Even then they might be 1/2" short.
Why don't you enlarge your recipe using my *original* WASC cake recipe? Use your recipe as written, adding the additional sugar, flour, egg and sour cream. It should come out just right for 4 layers of 6" rounds :)
AAre you suggesting she add the hose ingredients to a scratch cake? I know that would destroy my basic white cake recipe. Maybe I'm blind, but I don't see any mention of a cake mix.
A recipe that makes 32 cupcakes should be plenty for 2 2 inch high 6 inch layers. You'll probably have extra, but that better than not enough.
The *original* WASC recipe is one I found in a *very! old* MailBox News magazine (back in the 50s or 60s). I made a few minor adjustments as one or two of the ingredients were no longer available. I was the 1st one to post such a recipe, then another decorator took that recipe and made adjustments to suit hher needs for a white wedding cake batter. Since that many others have jumped on the bandwagon with their changes to come up with many different flavors - and in my opinion completely changed the whole basic idea of the original recipe :) Someone even posted their version of a 'from scratch' WASC recipe. It's posted somewhere on this site. Here is a link to my recipe. http://www.cakecentral.com/cake_recipe-7445-4-The-Original-WASC-cake-recipe.html
I always suggest one read through the whole post - all the replies etc before attempting it as there are many helpful hints and suggestions within the comments.

I agree! The only thing I can add is to turn your oven to 325 and bake between 30-40 depending in your oven. I have used cupcake recipes for cake many times - mostly chocolate.

I agree with scrumdiddlycakes, you should have enough batter. Is this a recipe you have used before? I would never experiment (either with a new recipe or by adding different ingredients, as suggested on this thread) when baking anything that's an integral part of the occasion.
