How do i make a cake for 20 people with it being 1/2 white and 1/2 chocolate?

Question

This needs to be baked together in same pan and not two seperate cakes

Answer 1

I do half & half cakes in my 11 x 15 all the time. I just fold aluminum foil over a few times & have someone hold it in the middle while I pour each mix in each side. Then I pull the foil out. It works great.

HAVE FUN & GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 2

You should bake them seperate, but if you bake them together, tilt the pan in one direction and pou the batter in, then lean it to the same side as you put the second mix in pan. Then spead evenly working the chocolate away from the white cake. The have different densityies and wont bake the same. When one side is baked cover that side with foil and place a second pan on a lower rack under the cake that bakes first, this will minimize the heat so it doesnt dry out.

Answer 3

I wonder if you could use a large rectangle pan and put in a tin foil covered cardboard catty cornered so you have two triangles- you could probably slide it out about 3/4 way thru baking? or marblize it! Or layer two layers- one choc.one vanilla-white. Why do you need it in the same pan,just hook it together with icing afterwards on the plate and frost the whole thing-do a thin "sub" frosting skin like the cake makers do and then after it dries (if your using bought frosting that stays soft make the thin layer out of milk and vanilla and powdered sugar) then add a thicker, smoothed nice top layer. You can get the cardboard for underneath at Jo Ann's.Party City or the local bake store----

Make a marble cake. For 20 people, you'll need to have a big flat pan -- I think that you might need more than a 9 x 13" pan. But, in the boxed cake section of the grocery store, you can find mixes for a marble cake.

The first recipe below is for a bundt pan. The Betty Crocker link involves the mix. I don't think that you have to do a bundt, but it might be a good idea for your cake (depending upon how much cake your group will eat).

Answer 5

Ghostmom has a good idea except instead of putting the foil covered cardboard at an angle, just put it in the middle. Then poor white cake mix on one side, and chocolate on the other side. Pull the cardboard out before cake is completely set in the oven.

I just saw Linda C's and she's right on!!

Answer 6

If you are making a cake for that many people, you could bake it in two pans. That's the easy way.

If the batter is not too thin, you might be able to pour the chocolate in first and then VERY carefully pour the white on top.

Answer 7

Get a cake for 10 people that is chocolate and do the same thing for white. 10+10=20.

Answer 8

This is extreamly dificult. I am a chef for 10 years and my father is a chef for about 40 and he says it is still hard for him to do. I recomend that you buy one. Other wise if you still think you can make it, YOu cant make them together. Get 1/2 of a cicle pan and make chocolate first. Then wash the pan and do vanilla. Chocolate is first because it takes longer to cool off.

Answer 9

easy make cup cakes 10 cup cake with white mix and the other 10 with chocolate and frost to ur liking that way no cutting necessary and its ur own personal cake

Answer 10

Once the icing is on... who can tell the dang difference?
make two cakes

you can easily make a mixed cake ( half white half choc.) but you cannot easily make that large of a cake.
