Loving this site and your yummy recipes!!
One question on this recipe though, to do the cake pictured do you do a recipe and a half?
Hi Sally,
One batter makes 2 8″ rounds plus 4-5 cupcakes. The cake and the cupcakes in the picture was a doubled recipe, we were going to a party. So to make the triple layer cake in the picture, yes, 1.5 times the recipe, and there would be enough left over for some cupcakes.
Or if you have 6″ cake rounds, the batter will make 3 6″ cakes.
Hope this helps,
Thanks for checking in!
