Yes, you can make any of my cupcakes ...Hi Abigail,<br /><br />Yes, you can make any of my cupcakes into a cake of any size. Just fill the pan to about 2/3 of the way full. (Make sure you grease the pan well first.) The baking time will be different depending on the size of the pan. I personally look up other recipes of a cake of the same size and use that as a guide to know when to expect it to be done. You can tell when a cake is about done when it's no longer caved in, in the center, (the top looks more rounded) and if you open the oven door and gently touch the center you can tell if it's firm or if it's just wet underneath, in which case it would need more time. Also another sign of a cake being done is that it pulls away from the sides of the pan. Then if it looks done you can do a toothpick test.<br /><br />I would double this recipe to make a 2 layer 8 or 9 inch cake. Or a single recipe would make a one layer cake.<br /><br />Thank you! I'm so glad you and your daughters like my recipes. I really appreciate it! <br /><br />Happy baking!
