Completely OT; Baking Question

The new stove here (which will do everything including 'touching up your
roots') is Such a Honey. When pre-heating, it tells you with a sweet quiet
'ding-a-ling' that it has reached temp. Ding-a-ling? Yes. Just right for
me. What a hoot! I love it. Polly

I have a chart that says a 13"x9"x2" metal pan holds 15 cups. I use that
for one cake mix, though the top of the cake doesn't reach the top of the
pan. But one cake mix should be plenty for that 10-cup castle pan. Don't
fill it more than 3/4 full or you may have overflow.

ooooooo. i love to bake, but dont like to clean up..

is it cake yet???

do we get to see it?

Naaaah, Amy. I was baking bread. Didn't turn out exactly picture perfect.
All the loaves were sort of 'poofy' to the rear. A problem lots of us are
familiar with. Polly

your stove is better than mine for sure.

what i'd give for a-ling, a-ling, a-ling. ))))

The cake was a rip-roaring success! I used one lemon flavored cake
mix and the directions on the side of the box for a 'pound' cake.
That seems more like to hold together than just a regular cake. So I
added one box of instant lemon pudding, oil, water and eggs. When it
came out of the oven, it hadn't overflowed the pan, so the amount was
perfect. It was, however, somewhat 'domed.' I figured that wouldn't
sit well, so I evened off the bottom with a strand of quilting
thread! (See the topic get get on topic, after all.)

Now, that looks like it was fun!
Good for you, now you can uncross your fingers and toes hoping it
would turn out okay

the cake is great, i love lemon cake...
but those cake eaters are the beez kneez.
they are just adorable, well done all of you. )

we really need to taste that cake to really know how well it turned out,
Joan.
perhaps you could rustle up a couple of dozen more and send us each a slice.

no hurry but easter is coming and that might be a nice addition to the table
fare.

Let's try this picture instead. I'm not entirely comfortable putting
up and leaving children's pictures out there on the internet for
anyone to see. Not that anyone in rctq is a problem, but one never
knows about the rest of the internet. Sorry for the inconvenience
with the broken link.

I am completely dumbfounded!
What an absolutely fantastic and amazing 'structure'.
No wonder it was a success.
