Sheet Cake Recipe

Question: I have been searching and searching for a 12x18 sheet cake recipe!(I usually use boxed cake mixes but they are too soft!) I can't find one that will give me a a full recipe without having to double it and so on. I need a firm but moist cake recipe. I don't know if I should go with a pound cake, sponge cake, or regular! Can you help??? Thanks!

Answer: My suggestion for a sheet cake recipe that is firm and moist are these butter cake recipes?

I use them regularly for my wedding cakes. The orange butter cake recipe in particular is my favorite. It can be converted to a vanilla cake by using milk instead of orange juice.

You didn't say if the cake was a one layer or two. If it is only one than you will need 14 to 15 cups of batter for that size pan. This means you will have to double the recipes. If it is two layers than you may have to quadruple it. I have multiplied my butter cakes by 6 with no problems for my wedding cakes.

Hope this helps you in your search for a great sheet cake recipe:)
