If you buy Duncan Heinz cake mixes, there is a chart printed on the INSIDE
of the box that tells you how many mixes for a specific sized pan. You can
also call their consumer hotline for the information at 800-362-9834. You
can also calculate it by measuring how many cups of water it takes to fill
the pan. Divide that number by two to figure out how many cups of batter
are required. A standard cake mix makes about 5.5 cups of batter.
