Diane, I have made your yellow, half chocolate and half vanilla cake, the marble, and chocolate half sheet cakes. ALL of them are phenomenal! I can't wait to make this one! Such crowd pleasers!
Thank you for sharing your recipe. You did a wonderful job explaining all the steps. Just need to ask you...can I replace the water with buttermilk or milk instead? I also would like to a combination of pure almond extract, clear vanilla extract and butter extract. By you using the cup to measure out how much batter to put into the pan and the baking temperature and minutes to bake in order not to overbake was VERY HELPFUL. Thanks again 😊.
I have only made this recipe as written so I can't give you an answer about the substitutions mentioned. The combination of almond extract and clear vanilla isn't a problem. I'm not a big fan for the butter extract but it's your call on that one. Thanks for watching and taking the time to write.
Sounds great I have many other half sheet cakes and several different flavors on my channel. Pennsylvania was a vital role in the founding of the United States. My grandparents were born there what a beautiful state. Thanks for watching and taking the time to write. Thank You of the sub.
I intend using this recipie for a wedding cake for my granddaughter this weekend ! I shall let you know how it turned out, thanks so much for sharing this with us here. :)
Hello diane, Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes can i ask do you only do half sheet, i am after a cake mix for a 9 by 13inch cake tin for this weekend i hope you can help take care lovely ❤️ 😍 xx
I have Pistachio Cake, Peanut Butter Cake Mix Cookies, Oatmeal Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies and Red Velvet Giant Cupcakes. These recipes are made with cake mixes. My cupcake recipes also can be used with 9x13 pans. Thanks for watching and taking the time to write.
Hello Diane! I just love your videos! Thank you so kindly for sharing all these wonderful recipes!! May I ask what size mixer bowl you have? I have a kitchen aid and my bowl does not look big enough for this recipe- so I will need to purchase one 😊
I have a professional 6 qt. If you go to the kitchen aid website, you can find a chart that will tell you the amounts your mixer can handle. Thanks for watching and taking the time to write.
Hey i am first time here , it is really detailed video . I want to make quarter sheet cake for my son birthday. don't want to order during this covid situation. Can you give me measurements for quarter sheet or point me to some video. Thank you
Hi Dianne I was wondering if you can two flavored cake like white chocolate with raspberry swirls on the bottom as example. Your video is inspiration I have been searching the internet and UA-cam for the recipe for half sheet cake and I came across yours I am gratefully for this recipe and I will let you know it went.
I haven't done any flavored swirl with this recipe. If you need additional flavors of half sheet'cake's please check out my channel..Thanks for taking the time to write........
I bought them through a restaurant supply... You can buy pans at Michael's, Williams Sonoma. I flip my cakes onto a cooling rack and allow them to cool . Then when it's time to put them on a board, I flip them back into the pan, put the board on top of the pan and flip the cake onto the board. I've never had a problem doing them that way.
Thank you for posting this video I learned so much from you I am so happy that you’re still on here I apologize for everybody taking your recipe and make it their own,I so appreciate all your time and effort in putting this video together I know it takes a lot and I enjoy watching only your videos thank you very much
How does the addition of water instead of milk affect the flavor of the cake? And does the gluten from the flour activate with all of the mixing that is required to make this cake?
If your looking for a cake recipe that uses milk I have several on my channel. . The quantity of water present also plays into the gluten-forming process. Adding too little water won't work; the flour must be sufficiently hydrated to activate the proteins that form gluten.
Can the 4 1/2 cups if ice water be subtituted for milk...if so will that still need to be the same about of liquid I've made this cake twice already with water
Generally if I use unsalted butter I mention it, there are some recipes I lower the salt due to using regular butter. Thanks for watching and taking the time to write....
Hi Diane, So the cake came out beautifully. My batter was thicker so I could have went with all the batter but it’s great! And I find it to taste a bit flourly, so next time I might add 1 extra teaspoon of extract but overall GREAT recipe! This cake is melting in my mouth. And thank you so much for the videos. I love to hear you. -Tracy

Where do you get your cake pans from? Could you please illustrate how to take a sheet cake from a cake pan to a board to frost? Thank you!

Ice water?
Can the 4 1/2 cups if ice water be subtituted for milk...if so will that still need to be the same about of liquid
I've made this cake twice already with water
Once I find a recipe that works well time and time again I don't alter it ,so I don't have a answer for you. :)
How was the flavor?
@gloriavilla6357 the cake was really good...the flavor was but I like to add a bit more vanilla anyway. It is one of my go too😁
Thanks for the very well done video I made it today and was easy to follown thanks
Great to hear!
Just wondering what size sheet pan you used? Thanks!
Never mind you said it ☺️
Thanks for watching..
Hi Diane. I love your videos!
I do have a question. I will surely let you know how your cake baked for me.
But do you use salted or unsalted?
Generally if I use unsalted butter I mention it, there are some recipes I lower the salt due to using regular butter. Thanks for watching and taking the time to write....

Greetings would I just cut this into squares for cake squares ?? Thanks
Yes, but the squares will have rough edges that won't be smooth if you know what I mean, (Crumbly) Thanks for watching....
Can you do a full sheet pan cake?
The cakes I make all the time are half sheets for occasions, church social etc. When I need a bigger cake, I make two half sheets and put one on top of the other.
Can you use this recipe and amount of batter for a 10” and 8 “ pan? Also at what temperature? Thanks!
Sorry, I can't answer that I only make this recipe as shown ( Half Sheet Cake) Check out this Wilton chart it might help..www.wilton.com/cake-serving-guide/cms-baking-serving-guide.html Thanks for watching.....
