Pouring cake batter into pans

by Susan
(Culver City, CA)

I was reading some of your cake recipes and noticed that you say to pour 2/3 of the batter into one pan and 1/3 into the other. Why is it poured in these measurements vs. 1/2 of the batter into each pan?

Thank you!

From the editor:

Hi Susan,

Since I'm basically a lazy baker, I like tricks that save me time or trouble. If I pour the batter this way, I only have to split one layer (the taller one) to end up with three nice even layers for filling.

I hope you find this trick useful.

Regards,
Michelle (editor)
