Cake Guide: Amounts & Times

Bakers Cake Guide
Serving Amounts to Pan Size 
Batter & Icing Amount Chart
Baking Times

Batter amounts for the 2 in. cakes on the chart are for pans 2/3 full of batter. An average 2-layer cake mix yields 4 to 5 1/2 cups of batter. Serving amounts are based on wedding-sized portions of approximately 1 x 2 in.

Icing amounts are very general and will vary with consistency, thickness applied and tips used. These amounts allow for top and bottom borders. For large cakes, always check for doneness after they have baked for 1 hour.

For pans 10 inches and larger, a heating core is recommended to insure even baking.
