In reply to Peter. Yes, it's a very short cake and when you cut a pan that large you have a lot of flexibility on the number of servings depending on the size you'd like to cute the cake. You can't fit any more boxes of cake mix on this kind of pan though because it will over flow.

I’m trying to make 40 servings for my local soup kitchen so sheet pan cakes make sense. The soup kitchen is ‘take out’ only due to Covid so an easily transportable cake piece is best. Also, I like a generous serving… if I’ve provided too much they can save half for the next day. The cake mix boxes say 10 servings so i would normally buy 4 boxes (or maybe even a 5th to make sure I’ve got plenty). But this recipe says to use just one mix box for a 13 x 17 pan. Isn’t that going to make a very short cake? Couldn’t I put 2 or even 3 mixes in one pan? Also the cake box says it makes 10 servings, this recipe says 20. What to do ?

In reply to Christina. It'll work great, just replace it with vanilla extract!

Do I absolutely have to add the almond extract? will the recipe work without it?
I’m just trying to work with what I have in my house at the moment and I don’t have almond extract.

I love the addition of almond extract in the icing 🙂
