    So, I need a hand here. It's kinda last minute, but hope someone can chip in. I'm using this recipe, but instead of a 9-inch pan I want to use a 13x9inch pan. Can anyone tell me how much extra of each ingredient do I have to put in?

    You can mix the cake by hand but it won't be quite the same texture as mixed with an electric mixer. The mixer incorporates more air into the batter for a lighter cake. The recipe was created with an electric mixer and all the kitchen testing was done with a portable electric mixer - a favorite Betty Crocker recipe!
