answer:I bought this cake mix and started putting the batter into two 9” round buttered and floured pans like I would normally do with a cake. When there wasn’t enough to fill the pans, I looked again. The instructions call for two 8” pans. The mix doesn’t make as much. So, you’d think the frosting would cover the smaller cake, right? Think again. It took one and a half of the packaged frosting the frost the smaller cake.
