Much love from Jamaica!

@Sugarologie

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Shanice! That’s so awesome that you’re baking all these for your church bake sale 💓 A couple tips to keep it fresh... they are really stable at room temp, if you frost them with a buttercream. So American or Swiss should work. You can totally use butter or oil, whatever you’re comfortable with. Instead of switching those out, to keep the moisture content, make a sugar syrup and brush the cakes before filling and frosting. It’s what big bakeries do! Were you thinking of baking up a bunch of sheets and cutting into squares? Just remember my recipes are for a half sheet pan and they are thinner than like, what some people call a “sheet cake”. But you could totally stack them for a massive cake. Don’t be nervous 😀 You can do this! I’ll try to answer your questions, so send them my way ❤️🌈

Hi Guadalupe, I’ve never tried to make this using boxed cake mix, but here are my suggestions: make sure you mix your batter very evenly, ensure the oil/butter has been distributed along with your eggs. Maybe even give it a good whisk before adding the wet ingredients to make sure the dry mix has the leavener mixed throughout. Then, when spreading your batter in the pan, you may need to jiggle it and tap it on the counter a few times to settle the batter and remove large air pockets. Place your pan in the very center of your oven to get even heat distribution. I hope this helps because I really want you to enjoy this cake ❤️❤️

do i need to add some flour to the sides of the pan if im using a cake mix?

@Sugarologie

3 жыл бұрын

I would... it's easy enough to do. I like to think that large cakes are just huge cupcakes. I wouldn't bake a bunch of cupcakes without using liners in my pan, and so we kind of have to do the same thing with these large cakes. It's hard to line the sides of a sheet pan with parchment, so that's why butter+flour on the sides acts as a "liner". You'll be happy when you flip this baby over and the cake falls right out. 💖 Happy Baking!

Hi Brianna! I think you could definitely try this with a box mix. I've never done it but this is what I would do: 1. So make sure you don't overfill the pan. I looked up Duncan Hines Devils Food Cake Mix (not sure if that's what you're using ;) ), which makes about 24 cupcakes. That means you should only use about 60-75% of the batter from an entire box mix for ONE half sheet pan. Try to look how much I fill my pan. And all cakes are going to rise differently, but I'd hate for it to overflow into your oven 😱 and box cakes usually do a pretty good job of rising nice and fluffy. 2. The bake time/temperature may be different. Use the same technique to check for doneness: toothpick to make sure no crumbs attached. Otherwise you should be good to go! Good luck and Happy Baking!
