12 Inch Round Cake - Baking and Filling

12 Inch Round Cake // Baking big cakes requires a different technique than smaller ones. In this video, I bake and fill a 12 inch round cake. You will learn the correct the oven temperature and how to prepare the cake pan. And I will also give you my super simple and delicious doctored yellow cake mix recipe! If you have to make a cake larger than 10 inches, then you will want to watch this first!

You can definitely add less batter to the pans. I just prefer the cake to bake a little over the top so I can level the top off. It may be a little weird that I do it that way, but we all do what works for us!

I never have put butter in this recipe, so I'm not sure how to change everything. If you don't want to use sour cream, then I would start by replacing the milk with buttermilk. And then add 1/2 cup butter and see how that turns out. However, like I said, I never have done that so I'm not sure about the result you'll get!

[@KarolynsKakes]

The bulge happens when the cake starts to settle. Let the cake settle and then you can either take a spatula and remove the excess icing or you can put stiffened buttercream in an icing bag and pipe a dam around the edge of the cake to prevent the filling from bulging out.

[@dennarddancer1960]

You are a genius !!! Now I know who to come to when I need cake advise. I have 2 questions. If I wanted to use white cake mix, would I have to use 4 egg whites, or more? And secondly, how would I size up from a 12" cake to a 14" cake using your recipe...🤔

[@KarolynsKakes]

I don’t make white cake just because I like having yolks in my batter. I’ve heard that people do 4 egg whites instead of 3 whole eggs. But I don’t want to give you bad advice so you’ll want to double check before you try! And for a 14” pan, you would need slightly more batter. I rarely make cakes that big, but in the past, I believe I have used 3 batches in a 2@ high pan. (There may be some left over.) I hope that helped!

Ok. I'll try it and see how it turns out...😉

[@marissaza930]

I absolutely love your videos ! I know I asked on a prior video but on the half and half for spray bottle you mention you can add vanilla is that vanilla extract ? Also when you add the vanilla will that spray be good on all flavors or only when vanilla is not added ? Hope that makes sense lol

[@KarolynsKakes]

I have to make a simple syrup video, I'll do that soon. And I always add vanilla, just because I love it so much LOL I don't add too much and it can be used on any flavor!

I love your videos, If I have a 10 inch cake, how many cake boxes do I need ? (Sorry for my grammar, English is not my first language but I LOVED your techniques)

[@KarolynsKakes]

You’ll need 2 boxes to make a 2 layer 10 inch cake. (1 box fills one 10” round x 2” high cake pan). You can click the cake batter saver chart in the description to see how much batter is needed. (It’s easier to view that from a laptop rather than on mobile). I hope that helps!

Hi greetings from Singapore 🇸🇬 😊, love your video. Just wondering why after filling the cake it's shl b left out over night n not put in the fridge. Hope you can advise tx q

[@KarolynsKakes]

I don't like to put cakes that aren't frosted in the refrigerator because it can dry them out.

👋 I was wondering if you had a video in more about cake settling and if not, when you find the time could you please post one. Have a wonderful day!

[@KarolynsKakes]

I don't have a video talking about settling. I usually let them settle overnight (wrapped in plastic, sitting out at room temp, not in the fridge.) If I need to speed up the settling process, I'll take a cardboard cake circle and place that on top of the wrapped cake. Then I'll put a light glass plate (not too heavy) on top of the cardboard circle (make sure it's center) to help it settle faster. :)

Hi Karolyn I recently purchased a 6x3 and 8x3 cake pans do you have any tips for baking time and temps for these taller cakes

[@KarolynsKakes]

The only 3" high cake pan I use is the 4" round one. So I don't have too much experience with those other sizes and I'm not sure what to recommend. I don't want to tell you the wrong thing. For the 4x3 pan, I bake around 35-40 minutes using a doctored cake mix recipe.

Hi I am about to bake a large cake and your video as always come to the rescue😊, I notice your oven has a vent so is mine and I am wondering if your bake your cakes with the vent on or off? Thanks for all your tutorials ❤️

[@KarolynsKakes]

Awwww yayyy!! Do you mean the convection fan? If so, I bake with the vent off for my doctored mix cakes and I use the convection fan for things like pound cakes.

[@edithramirez8457]

@@KarolynsKakes thanks for your answer and yes the convection fan mode is what I was wondering, now I know, I really appreciate your tutorials 🤩☺️👍🏻have and excellent day!!!

Hi Karolyn! What is the size and where I can buy the same offset spatula you are using, it's small and I'm starting to bake (I'm in a learning process) my spatula it's big, I think that one will be better for me. Thanks a lot for your videos.

Thank you, but I would like to know what you sprayed on the cake to keep the moisture.

It's called simple syrup! I explain it at 16:10 in the video 😊

Hola Caroline !!!!!

[@Fitandfab192]

How many cakes do you bake at a time in the oven . Can we put cake pan on top and bottom rack and bake at the same time ?? Thank you for all your videos .

[@KarolynsKakes]

I don't like to bake on both racks. It depends on the size of the cakes. But I can do up to 6 at a time (if they are smaller).

[@elizareyes5346]

What type of filling did you used?

[@staceygarvey8637]

Hi Your cakes are fabulous. I'm trying grasp the concept of ratio ingreidents. Flour, butter, and sugar for a 12 in cake. Pls help!!!!!!

[@KarolynsKakes]

I break it down in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZq7aqeHhZ6co5o

[@monicahipolito5501]

Love your videos. Can I ask what do you charge for a 12” cake?

[@KarolynsKakes]

Thank you! I don't ever make just a 1 tier 12" cake unless it's plain (not decorated) and cut and served in the kitchen for extra slices. That would be around $160 or so.

[@yummycakes4422]

Hello thank you for sharing As you said you are making these cake for next weekend wedding So can you can I keep for longer and how long Waiting for your reply plz🤗

[@KarolynsKakes]

I made these about 3 or 4 days in advance, I don't remember exactly! I iced them and kept them in the fridge for a few days until the wedding.

[@joannjacquin4983]

Karolyn, is it alright to let the filled cake settle in the fridge?? I have a 12” 2 layer cake I have to make within the next day or two and I’m a bit nervous. The recipe I’m using is for a 6” 3 layer, so I have to figure out how to multiply it to fill two 12” layers. It is a scratch recipe. The cake is a white cake with a raspberry filling and a meringue based buttercream.

[@KarolynsKakes]

I've personally never let a cake settle in the fridge. If you want to speed up the settling process, wrap it up in plastic wrap after you fill it and place a 12" cake cardboard circle on top, then place a medium sized glass plate on top. Nothing too heavy, but something heavy enough that it will put slight pressure on top so it helps it settle faster. Keep it on there for about 1-2 hours and it should be good! I have a video on how much cake batter to use for each pan, but it's using a doctored mix recipe. I have a chart linked in the description, maybe it will help you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3yUoIaGfbeIqLM

[@juliedeguara784]

Hi Iam a new subscriber I love your baking but have a question in large cakes do you need to use the nails in middle of the cake while cooking ??

[@KarolynsKakes]

Hi Julie! Yes, I use nails in all of my cakes, no matter what size. When they are 11" and larger, I use multiple nails. They help heat the cake from the middle so it bakes more evenly!

[@sharaacosta392]

Thank you so MUCH, you literally saved my live jeje, i've a question, How many amount of icing did you use to fill the cake? Sorry for my grammar i'm just learning english, Thanks

[@KarolynsKakes]

I am not sure how many cups of filling I used. But I try to make sure it is a good ratio to the amount of cake. If you have thin layers, you don't want the filling to be too thick. These cake layers in this video are thicker, so I believe I did 1/4" thick filling. (You just have to look at the thickness of the filling as you are spreading it around on the cake.) If I had to estimate, I think it was 3 cups of filling in this 12" cake.

[@lazyxmonkey6625]

I want to ask, what if I’m making an ice cream cake? The cakes need to be oil based and not with butter, will the sour cream and milk make a difference and still give the same result as an oil based cake will?
