Hi. I feel silly asking this...
I recently bought a horseshoe shaped cake pan, and it says I should use two layer cake mix. How is this different from just using regular cake mix? Do I have to buy more than one box or something, or are some cake mixes consider a 2 layer cake mix? I'm just used to making a regular cake. I've never experimented with different cake pan shapes and such.
Any help's appreciated. Thanks.

Maybe I did look dumba.s.s. and didn't find what I was looking for.... so I thought I would ask some people that may have some experience with baking.
How about instead I do a google image search of a dumba**. Maybe your pic will show up :)

Don't feel silly asking any question, everyone has to learn somehow. A boxed cake mix is normally 2 layers, unless it specifies otherwise that it is only one. There are some mixes out there that are one. Read the back of the box and if it says pour the cake mix in 2 round cake pans, you're set, you have a mix that makes 2 layers.
Your more well known cake mixes are 2 layers, Duncan Hines, Betty Crocker, Pillsbury...
Good luck!

A 9 inch round cake pan is 63.61 square inches. A 10 inch round is 78.53 square inches. (about a 25% increase in area). The larger area with the same amount of batter will result in a thinner cake and will require a shorter cooking time. I would guess about 20-25 minutes to cook assuming you use the same amount of batter. Start checking the cake at about 20 minutes with the toothpick test (if it comes out clean its done). I would make a 2 layer 10 inch and deal with a slightly thinner cake or alternatively make more batter If you want the cake to be the same thickness as though you used a 9 inch round then you would need another box of cake mix and you would use 50% of it divided evenly. (or make a 3 layer cake with 2 boxes with the same amount of batter in each layer). If you do increase the batter, the cooking time for the 10 inch will be slightly longer than the 9 inch cooking time.

Normal size boxes of cake mix are for 2 layers. If you buy Jiffy cake mix - that's a 1-layer cake mix. That's probably why your pan specifies a 2-layer cake mix.

Most regular cake mixes are for 2 layer cakes. You're fine. Perhaps they're specifying as opposed to pound cake?

I see your confusion. Maybe that's just a general name for those kind of cake mixes. But Betty Crocker and them just call it "cake mix", so I don't see the reason to call them "two-layer". It doesn't matter. You can use cake mix to make any number of layers you want (including 1).

The box should say if it's meant for a two layer cake. The mixes are for the simplest method, so they should tell you.

1 box of cake mix makes a 2 layer cake. You are fine with one box.
