Notes
In terms of actual servings, it depends on what you are baking, but here is a quick breakdown of what this batch will cover:
- 1 Standard 9x13 Sheet Cake: Generously covers the top (the traditional way to serve a Texas-style sheet cake or German Chocolate cake).
- 1 Two-Layer 8-inch or 9-inch Round Cake: Yields about 12 to 16 servings if you are just filling the center and frosting the top layer (leaving the sides bare, which is common for this style of frosting).
- Cupcakes: Yields enough to top 24 cupcakes if you spoon a generous dollop onto each.
