Hi Lauren,

I would recommend using my regular / not small batch vanilla cake recipe to make 2, 9-inch cake layers. Hope that helps, happy baking!

Hi Sierra,

I left the amount of buttercream the same because I think it’s easier to make it that way (1 box of butter, 1 bag of powdered sugar) and if you want to add big swirls or any other decorations it’s good to have a little extra.

I have an amazing buttercream calculator that helps you figure out how much frosting you need for different sized cakes, here’s the link: https://chelsweets.com/how-much-buttercream-do-i-need/

Hope that helps, happy baking!

I’m trying to triple and quadruple this 6 in. recipe to make 10 and 12 in. cakes, but in my calculations it seems like a lot of buttercream!

Hi Maggie,

Do you want to make six, 6-inch cake layers? If so, I’d recommend doubling the ingredients to make a double batch and then divide the batter evenly between 6 pans. This can either be done in a very large bowl or in a 5 qt or larger stand mixer. Hope that helps, happy baking!

Hi Kacie,

I share my favorite chocolate buttercream recipe here: https://chelsweets.com/chocolate-buttercream-frosting/

One batch should be perfect to frost this cake and add some big swirls to the top. Happy baking!

Thanks?

How deep are your pans? And how much should we fill the pans up to?

If so what brand did you use? Thanks for this amazing recipe, I have been looking for a good cake recipe that isn’t so spongey!

I am practising to make my daughter’s wedding cake but it seems like I would need so many layers! Am I doing something wrong? I followed your instructions to a T.
