Sheet Pan Cookie Cake Recipe (2024)

FAQs

Can you use cookie sheet for cake? ›

Any layer cake recipe that yields three 8" or 9" cakes will work in a half sheet pan with no adjustments needed. If the recipe yields two 8" to 9" cakes, I increase the recipe by 1.5 (if you measure by weight, rather than volume, this is a cinch). Grease the half-sheet pan and line it with parchment.

If you don't have a 12-inch cake pan and don't want to buy one, you can press this dough into a foil-lined 10-inch cake pan or 9-inch cake pan, though the dough will be much thicker. Add 12-15 minutes to the bake time; check the dough as it bakes to make sure it's not under-baked or over-baked.

Full-Sheet Cake: Around 14 to 16 cups of batter. Half-Sheet Cake: Approximately 7 to 8 cups of batter. Quarter-Sheet Cake: About 3 to 4 cups of batter.

Baking sheet pans have rolled edges with a lip around the entire pan, whereas cookie sheets do not. Baking sheets are often used for roasting and other savory preparations. Baking sheets can also be used for very shallow cakes, like those used for jelly rolls. Baking sheets can be used for cookies.

While you can use a Baking Sheet to make cookies, you can't use a cookie sheet to make some of the recipes that a Baking Sheet is perfect for. For example, if you try to roast chicken on a cookie sheet, you might find that the meat's juices drip off into your oven and leave the meat dry as a result.

The reason cookie sheets don't have sides is so that heat can circulate more evenly around the cookies as they bake. Baking cookies inside a pan with sides will impede heat circulation and cause the cookies to bake unevenly.

Yes, you can use aluminum foil (triple thick) on the oven shelves. Spray the foil with a bit of oil or use a paper towel to spread a LITTLE bit of oil to help the cookies from sticking. You can also use silicone baking sheets but they tend to be floppy.

A cookie cake is a dessert that consists of a large cookie, which is baked similarly to a batch of regular-sized cookies and usually decorated with frosting. Cookie cakes are made with cookie dough, generally by adjusting the portions of existing cookie recipes to match the size of the pan used for baking.

A full sheet cake weighs 8 pounds of batter. The average super market box cake weighs 15.25 ozs. Add in the eggs & water & oil & you have just about 2 lbs. So you would need 4 boxes, maybe a little more for waste because most people don't scrap the bowl very well & lose product that way.

A full-size commercial sheet cake pan is 18 by 24 inches (46 cm × 61 cm) or 18 by 26 inches (46 cm × 66 cm) in size. A half-sheet is half that size, and a quarter-sheet or 9-by-13-inch (23 cm × 33 cm) pan, which usually results in 16 to 24 servings of cake, is one-quarter the size.

How much cake mix for a sheet pan? ›

Batter & Icing Guide for Sheet Cakes

The amount of batter for the 2 inch cake is based on a pan that is 2/3 full of batter. For the 3 inch cakes the amount is based on a pan 1/2 way full of batter. The average cake mix will make an approximate 4 to 5 cups of batter depending on the ounces it has.

One box of cake mix typically yields enough batter for 2 layers in a standard 8-inch round cake pan or 1 layer in a 9x13 inch sheet cake pan.

It's important to pay attention to the specifics called for in a recipe, but in general, most cakes are best removed from the pan after cooling for 10 to 20 minutes. Try it too soon, and it may fall apart. Wait too long, and it may stick.

You can bake, roast, and fry on it. Place a pie on a sheet for more surface area to hold your masterpiece. Use it to make healthy veggie snacks, or bake a loaded cheesy pizza. Of course, we can't forget the obvious: making cookies would be impossible without it.

Make a sheet pan

The ideal sheet pan for making a cake would be flat and have sides that are at least 1 inch high. As long as the height of the sheet pan is at least i inch, the rest of the dimensions don't matter, if you have a smaller or larger pan, you'll just have a smaller or larger result!

Using Parchment Paper

It can withstand temperatures up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not confuse it with wax paper, which is not suitable for oven use. A snug piece of parchment at the bottom of your pan is a must for all baking—not just cakes, but brownies, shortbreads, bars, and so much more.

Half Sheet Pans

They usually measure 18″ x 13″ with about a 1-inch rim around the outside, although you'll see some slight variances in those dimensions. The workhorse of many home bakers, half sheet pans are great for baking cookies and sheet cakes. For most bakers, having two of these pans will suffice.
