1. I didn't like that everyone else was approximating their numbers, so here are mine exactly: - 325 degrees, the entire bake time - When spraying the container, I made the mistake of spraying the whole thing BEFORE the top went in. Remember to only spray the bottom, then after baking it (see next bullet) spray the TOP. - 12 minutes just the bottom piece - I then added the top. 67 minutes = enough time to get the soft inside and not too hard outside. 2. I used 2 cake boxes, and took note of which is denser (I had devil's food and funfetti, so I used the devil's food for the base). When finished, I had enough for 12 cupcakes in addition to the large cupcake. 3. I filled the batter up to the last portion of the spiral for the top, and about 1 inch in for the bottom. Hope this helps!!! 80 of 80 people found the following review helpful: By 2Tiels (Connecticut) - See all my reviews This review is from: Wilton 2105-5038 Giant Cupcake Pan (Kitchen) This cake takes some practice - especially with the decorating. The top piece bakes much more quickly than the bottom half so place the top part toward the front of the oven. 48 to 50 minutes with a box cake works fine. Decorate the bottom before placing the top piece on - this will make it much easier. The quality of the pan is excellent and it release well. 97 of 101 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Wilton 2105-5038 Giant Cupcake Pan (Kitchen) Ok, sorry people who gave bad reviews..your on CRACK! This pan ROCKS!! I used the baker joy flour/oil spray and cake fell out of pan by itself. Was a bit overdone on one side but I saw later that some people cooked one side first for a while then the other. I'll probably cook the first side 5 or 10 min then fill the smaller side. Cake came out perfectly otherwise. You have to trim the ops to get a flat surface to connect the 2 pieces but even my 'normal' cakes dome so I always cut the tops to make them flat, not biggie. The best thing i can say for you is to try this recipe. I didnt want to use a 'normal' box cake because i had to transport this cake and I thought it would be too soft to stand being juggled. I didnt want to make a pound cake from scratch either. I settled on this, and you can do it with any boxed cake flavor. It makes a denser cake than a normal box but not QUITE a pound cake density either. Just right for transporting and very tasty! Hope you like the giant cupcake...Read more |
