Yes Cindy I did use my 6 x 3 pans for this cake. You certainly do have a challenge baking for such a large group. I would guess you could increase the recipe and bake the cake in sheet pans using this filling idea. Good luck with your project. Let me know what you end up doing, I am always interested in baking challenges!

Hi there. Thanks so much for this recipe and the chart. I can’t seem to find where you state the pans you used for the recipe though. Do I assume you used two of your new 6×3″ rounds for this? I bake for a fraternity and have to convert to big pans!! For a couple hundred servings. In fact the pans I use aren’t even on your chart! Lol. Thanks

I love the convection for meats, pizza, breads, and for cookies. The cakes I would also have to play with when I have some time, lots of flour and a big trash bag.

I haven’t tried the convection on anything but chicken and other large cuts of meat. Great color on the chicken. I’m going to experiment on a cake that’s not for anyone but me and the family. We’ll see..

Thanks.

Linda please feel free to link back to the chart. It really is a great resource. I do have a convection oven, but rarely use that feature for cakes other than sheet cakes. Maybe it is just me but I have found that especially on white or light colored cakes I get more color on the crust than I like. I probably need to experiment more with using the convection, but have just stuck to my tried and true method. How about you?

Oh, and thank you for linking to What’d You Do This Weekend?

Wishes for tasty dishes,

Yes Kathleen there were chopped up Reese’s cups between each layer. The cake was fantastic! Glad you can use the cake chart. I have found it very helpful since I do like to use different sizes of pans for baking. Thanks for the pin too!
