Hi Kimberly! Converting pan sizes is always tricky. Here are some sites I use as a guideline:

Based on that I would 2.25x the recipe for three 9″ pans.

I’m planning on doing three 9″ layers, would i have enough cake if i double the recipe or should i triple it?

Hi Kathy! Either will work — mine are all 2″ tall.

Hi Maggie! Do you have an immersion blender? That can help emulsify it together: https://www.santabarbarachocolate.com/blog/how-to-fix-a-broken-ganache/

Looked it up on internet and added more chocolate as did not have low fat milk. Did not help. Do you have recommendations

I would just make the recipe as is and pour it into a Bundt. The batter is thin and rises a lot (doubles in size) so keep that in mind and don’t fill the pan too full. Baking time will be longer — I find Bundts can take anywhere from 50mins to 1h 15mins depending so be sure to check on it as it’s baking! Let me know how it turns out 🙂

Hi Olivia,
I love this recipe! It’s so quick and easy to make. I am now thinking I would like to make this on Christmas Day however using a bundt tin. How would I adapt this recipe for a bundt tin?
