How much mixture do i need for a bible cake tin?

Question

i have a 15 x 11 1/2 inch bible cake tin which is 2 3/4 inch deep does anyone know how much mixture i need and do i have to separate the mixture to make a top and bottom layer of the cake.

Answer 1

I checked one of my favorite sites, wilton.com, and they have a pan called a two-mix book pan.  So I'd use two mixes or a double recipe.  

Here's the pan:  http://www.wilton.com/store/site/product...

I would say to do it about half way up the side of the pan. The cake will double in size when you bake it. As to the layers, it depends on how thick and how many layers you would like in your cake. If you want thin layers then just make one batch of cake mix, when it comes out of the oven cool it completely and then slice it into two layers. Or make two cakes and then have more layers, just repeat the previous steps, or have two very thick layers.

One tip, do not double the cake recipie. I did this once and it turned out horribly, the cake overflowed on the pan and was not very good... So if you are needing to make two do it in two seperate batches.

Also to make your cakes easier to slice, and less crumbs when you are slicing the layers freeze it for about an hour and then cut it, with a serrated blade of course.

If you need a recipe for a cake try going to allrecipes.com or recipezarr.com to find a recipe.

Also, a question for you... what is a bible cake tin??

Answer 5

You need 16 cups of batter for a pan that's 11x15 and 3 inches deep, or 11 cups of batter for a pan that's 11x15 and 2 inches deep.  You also will need a heating core or a couple of flower nails put in the middle to get it cooked all the way through.

You can split it into two layers and frost between them after it's baked, if you want filling in the middle.
