When I bake a cake, I usually double or make 1.5 times the recipe as I like to make enough for my extended family. However, the cakes do not always turn out (as well) as the original recipe does. Is it the pan size or should I forget it and just bake 2 cakes? Would welcome discussion on this.

Hi TekPoh,
It's Diana here. I think it would be best to make 2 cakes, as a recipe doesn't always turn out right when you double the recipe. What pan size does the recipe call for?

Well, Diana, if the cake is a shallow one in an 8-in pan, I usually bake 1.5 times in a 9-in pan and double it in a 10 or 11-in pan. The ones which are doubled usually cracks. Question no.2: if I have no choice but to bake 2 cakes, can I do the batter at one go? By the way, my oven cannot accomodate 2 8-in pans, which means I'll have to wait for one cake to be ready b4 proceeding to the next one.
warm regards,TeckPoh

Hi TekPoh,
What size pan does your recipe call for, and what kind of cake is it that you are trying to make?
Please let me know.
