HELP! Lost my cake pan conversion 'cheat sheet' and need help...

[cheezz]

My pan is a Wilton 12 x 15 x 2 and I'm making the linked recipe.... how many recipes should I make for that size pan??

Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the answer even thru a Google search (which seems quite unbelievable, but there it is).

Thanks all!

Does this help?

No, I'm afraid not... that's the only link I could find and I don't know how many 'cups'

the recipe makes... none of the sizes shown even go over a 9x13 pan. Guess I will have to just make up a double recipe, measure how many cups, and go from there... thanks though!

It looks to me like you would need about 1 1/2 x the recipe for the 12 x15 pan. When you multiply

9x13, it equals 117. When you multiply 12x15, it equals 180. Half of 117 is 58.5. Add 58.5 to 117 and you get 175.5, which is damn close to the 180 you need for the 12x15 pan, so it would require
1 1/2 x the recipe.

Now either this is utterly wrong, or utterly right - maybe my logic is out in space, but it sounds like it makes sense to me.

It turned out to be double the recipe.... 10 cups of batter. Two more cups would've been perfect.

It wasn't quite as high as I'd like, but turned out great anyway.
Thanks for the help you two!

Hmmmm, so much for my math!

I know this is too late, but here's a link to another conversion table.
