How many cake mixes for a 18 in round opan?

Unfortunately, you can't determine the number of cake mixes needed for a 18-inch round pan just based on the pan size. Here's why:

* Cake Mix Sizes Vary: Cake mixes come in different sizes (typically 15.25 oz or 18.25 oz).

* Cake Mix Recipes Vary: Even mixes of the same size might yield different cake volumes.

* Pan Depth Matters: An 18-inch round pan can have different depths, affecting how much batter you need.

Here's what you need to do:

1. Check the Cake Mix Box: Look for the recommended pan size on the cake mix box. Most boxes will list the appropriate pan size for their mix.

2. Calculate the Volume: If you're using a different pan size, you can use an online calculator to determine the volume of your 18-inch round pan. This will give you a rough estimate of how much batter you need.

3. Adjust for Pan Depth: Consider the depth of your 18-inch pan. If it's deeper than the recommended pan on the box, you may need more than one box of mix.

4. Experiment: It's always best to make a test batch to see how the cake mix performs in your 18-inch pan.
