LOL!! I use KA recipes in my KA mixer...my sister's name is Kelly Anne...
Does Kelly Anne have an in the pan yellow cake recipe??? I'll check the KA website...
I find that a recipe that calls for a 9x13 or 2-8" pans does well in a 10" round pan.

The cake turned out dry and dense as I suspected. It also didn't taste all that good. It had the texture of bread. Next time I'll try one of the other recipes without fiddling so I have a better chance at success.
Sorry to hear that Andy. I still say the best Chocolate Cake is Hershey's. On the back of the Hershey cocoa can. It is even more richer tasting if you use the Dark Chocolate Special cocoa. So moist and light. Even their frosting recipe is perfect. Not too sweet and real chocolate tasting. You will find it right below the cake recipe. Or you could go to the Hershey site.

bc, I am so glad this subject came up. I presently have two aluminum 8" cake pans. They work fine for me, but I would like to get new ones. Preferably darker ones. So, should I stick with the 8" or go up to the 9"? Most of the cakes I make have a lot of batter. I am going to be making a lemon poppy seed cake with cream cheese frosting and the directions call for a large loaf pan. I want to make it a layer cake. Which pans should I go for?
... I have great vanilla cake recipes but they are always technique driven...
Thanks Janet. I realized early on that a mix-in-pan yellow cake is not feasible for the reasons you stated. Now I'm just looking for a great recipe to add to my repertoire.
I usually make a single layer cake and frost/glaze it. A layer cake it too big and goes stale B4 it gets finished. I'm shooting for a tender, moist and flavorful cake. The Martha recipe I made didn't fill the bill. It's time to move on.
I appreciate the links.
bakechef, I'd appreciate your sharing your vanilla cake recipe.
Is there a difference between a vanilla cake and a yellow cake or is that just two names for the same thing?
