How Much Batter Do I Use to Fill A Pan?

Hi Everyone-

This weekend in class we had a cake come in that was supposed to be a 9 inch square cake with two - 2inch tall layers. Instead when she baked it her layers came out only about 1" tall. Given that she was using the same cake recipe as she had in prior class the problem had to be with the amount of batter she used to fill each pan. Whenever you use a new pan you need to look up the amount of batter it takes to fill the cake pan ( remember, each pan should fill to half full in order for it to bake properly).

So I have attached the link to Wiltons chart for filling pans- that are 2 inches deep. This chart can also be found in your Wilton Yearbook.

Happy Baking!
