Spingform Pans

Question: Can you make a normal cake recipe and bake it in a spring form pan?

The first Wednesday of every month is Supergroup for the Junior High Students and every month has a theme. We've done Pirates vs. Ninjas, Battle of the Sexes, Spy Night, and others. March is Cake Night which is a night where we celebrate everyone's birthday. So, if you can make a cake, you bring a cake. I'm guessing a ratio of 1 cake to every 5 people. It's a lot of cake. So naturally, I'm making two cakes (you know, in case people forget their cake). But, we only have springform pans. Will those still work? And, can I have two different sizes but still make the same amount of cake batter, so we'll just have a tiered cake? Bakers, tell me how it will work with what I have!

And Mom and Corrie, I can hear you now. "Just chuck it in a rectangle pan and be done with it." These are people my age (the small group coaches, not students). I must prove my superior baking skills and get that little victory. Lord knows I can't decorate it, so it better be an awesome shape, right? And who knows, maybe I will be sending something into Cakewrecks myself. But, I'm hoping it comes out looking like this.

Erin, are we talking ones like cheesecake pans or like the silicone pans? I've made banana bread in the silicone ones. I don't know about the cheesecake pans. I would assume, as long as you butter, flour and parchment paper it, you should be good. Don't forget the butter and flour!! Let me know how it turns out!

How do you have two springform pans and NO round cake pans? They're, like, $3 a piece. Or you bring me a springform and I'll trade you for a round cake pan (I have two of those).

And yes, just use the 9x13! A glass one looks a little fancier than the metal one.
