I need to bake a 2-layer 10-inch cake, but I only have one 10-inch cake pan. What is the best way to go about this? One time I had to let the batter sit for 30 minutes, because I had discovered my milk had spoiled and had to get more at the store. It turned out flat and dense. I'm afraid that will happen to the second layer if I leave it waiting for the first, and I'm reluctant to do it by half because I thought I'd heard somewhere that some recipes don't divide well.
It is a feathery light chocolate cake that is leavened with baking powder, and you have to fold in 3 egg whites. If I do the whole recipe, I think I'll at least hold off on whipping the whites until the minute I need them.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks everyone
