My springform pan is just the size I need for the birthday cake I want to make, however I am not certain if you can put regular cake mix in a springform pan without it running out the bottom. I have never used a springform cake pan before, but I do know they are typically used for cheesecakes and the like. So, if I put a boxed cake mix in the springform pan, will it turn out as if I used a regular pan? Or should I just make do with my other cake pans and improvise to get what I need, so I spare myself a potential mess from the springform pan? Thanks for your advice!

Of course you can, any heat-proof container can be used to bake a cake!
HOWEVER, as you observed, the batter could possibly seep out from under the collar at the base - all you have to do is the following:
For any cake batter (except Angel food)
a) Lightly grease the collar and base of the spring-form pan
b) assemble the pan and line with a single round of "parchment paper/ wax paper/ greaseproof paper or baking liner paper", carefully easing it all the way around in the bottom and up the sides of the pan, crimping the paper down to make a fairly smooth liner
c) lightly grease AND flour inside the paper
For Angel food batter do NOT grease and flour the pan, just line it as best you can to keep the batter from seeping out the bottom seam. Grease will cause the egg whites to deflate and ruin the cake.
Cheers & good luck!

What Is A Springform Pan

I just bought two small springform pans and wondered the same thing if I could use a regular cake mix. They are in the oven now and doing just fine

There is absolutely no problem using a sprinform pan with box mix. Just make sure your pan is in good condition, check that the lip on the bottom fits well, the clasp is not loose, etc. However if you still feel unsure, spray the pan well with pam and line your pan with saran wrap, leaving a good overhang. It will shrink, so allow enough for it ( 2in.) That will definately alleviate any leakage.
Happy cake making

yes just make sure your cake is in the center of the oven and near the top ....if you know how to check by inserting a knife use this as you may need to bake it a little longer.....there is no difference using a spring form pan as if you used a little larger pan.....you will like the end result when it comes time to remove your cake...

Spare yourself the mess! I made that mistake as a teenager. It will run out the bottom like crazy. Not to mention that the cake mix is designed to do 2 smaller layers, not one tall one. The outside will overcook while the middle won't set if you do it all in one pan.
You can use a bundt pan if you want to change one or two ingredients(bundt variation often right on the box). Otherwise, do a sheet cake or run out and get a couple cake pans. Or do cupcakes!
