You can use just about any pan - 13x9 for a sheet cake (which is what I usually do), 2 - 8 in square pans, 1 - 8 or 9 in round cake pans. If making a layered cake use a different frosting as the Shiny frosting won't be enough - it just puts a very thing layer on a sheet cake. I'll post the other frosting recipe shortly for layered cakes Grandma always used.

thanks for correcting it. I am going to make it for my dad for father's day since he likes cakes that are not too sweet. I'll post my results!

sorry, sugar was listed on the recipe in my recipe box in BigOven, don't know what happened there - added the Splenda bit. Thanks for pointing that out!

where is the sugar listed on the ingredients?

If you substitute Splenda for Sugar the 10 carb per serving becomes zero.
