How many batches do you think I will need to make on 2 sheet pans.

Hi Jeri,

This cake recipe is super sturdy and would work great in tiered cakes and under fondant. Happy baking!

Hi Mad,

Absolutely! This cake has a great structure for stacking and making tiered cakes 🙂 I’ve used it to make 3 wedding cakes. Happy baking!!

Hi Paige,

One batch of batter should actually be the perfect amount to make 2, 9-inch cake layers. Hope that helps, happy baking!

I’m making a 2 layer 9″ cake and I didn’t know if this would be too much batter for the cake pans or if it would be too thick? Thanks! Love your videos! 🙂

Thank you.

Hi Liv,

Great question! You can totally use whole eggs, I recommend using 4, large eggs in place of the egg whites in this recipe. Hope that helps, happy baking!

I hate wasting egg yolks, I mean I know I can use it for other thing but always forget and end up throwing them away after a few days

Hi Brooklynn,

That sounds like such a delicious combination!! So sad that the middles keep sinking though :/ I actually wrote a whole post about what cause the middle of cake to sink, here’s the link: https://chelsweets.com/why-do-cakes-sink-in-the-middle/

Hopefully that helps, happy baking!

Hi Melissa,

This recipe can also be used to make a sheet cake! One batch will make 2, 9 x 13-inch cake layers that are about 1-inch tall. Bake for 35-40 mins at 350 F / 175 C.

I recommend using heating cores (like these: https://amzn.to/3CeVIwT) if you have them to help large cake layers like this bake more evenly and quickly. Happy baking!

Hi Ashley,

So happy you love this recipe as much as I do 🙂 Are you trying to make a 1.5 batch of batter? Then yes, 900g of sugar! This recipe does use a lot of sugar, but you need a lot to give it the right texture because it uses the reverse creaming method.

Hope that helps and that your wedding cake turns out amazing (I’m sure it will!)!!

Hi Michelle,

It is! Whipping cream can be used in place of heavy cream in the frosting included in this cake recipe. Happy baking!

They are so informative and very easy to follow. I am hooked on your vanilla layer cake with the reverse creaming method. It is out of this world! I’m making a 4-tier wedding cake for this weekend and have a question about refiguring the measurements at 50%. I converted the flour to 562 grams but when I convert the sugar I come up with 900 grams which seems awfully high. Is this correct? I really don’t want to mess up the recipe so I’m afraid to try it without knowing for sure. I trust your thoughts and input. Thanks so much!

I paired it with Chelsweets strawberry buttercream and it was great! The only thing I couldn’t seem to bypass was the middle of my cakes kept sinking it no matter what I tried?
