Are you going to mix it all and use only half, or are you going to mix half? You should probably mix it all, bake 2- 8 or 9 inch layers, and put one in the freezer for later... |

I never heard of anyone making half a box cake... how do you divide the three eggs? LOL I never saw a box cake that says it feeds 12, not unless 12 cupcakes for a rugrat party |

Half would take an 8- or 9-inch round cake pan, or an 8-inch square pan. Bake it all in two pans, and freeze one for later. Don't put icing on it until it's thawed. N. |

Half a box ain't gonna cut it. Today's box mixes are so downsized that it's an insult to cakes. Mix up the entire box and fill up whatever pan you want to use at least half full, more is better. Make cupcakes with any leftovers or give it to your cats. I have to use my mouth and a pencil to type too. Thank God for spellcheck! |

No more need to split regular boxes of mix. http://www.jiffymix.com/products.php I'm sure you can add red food coloring to Devil's Food and turn it into Red Velvet cake just like everyone else. > > OTOH, I saw on TV the most blasphemous of claims - that RVC is not > really a chocolate cake. Boy, the stuff you see on TV these days! Who knew? I hear red velvet and think fabric, not cake. -- Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get. |

Oh, come ON. Why are you always trying to save 50 cents worth of beans, and such. Now it's a cake mix. Why not get a real recipe and quit buying that junk in a box? If you have to, make the whole boxed thing and give a neighbor a big slice. You might even make someone's acquaintance if you have to borrow a pan. Sometimes I think you post these ridiculous situations just to get our collective goats. |

For the same reason you sit around replying to every post on RFC, and telling people what to read, what to say, what to ignore, like you've been elected moderator or something. You're about as relevant as a dog turd on the sidewalk. Now grace us all with one of you're standard oh-so-cutting (and boring) remarks, we're all waiting on the edge of our seats. |

Use one layer pan instead of two. Duh. Or use an 8x8" square pan.
