Let's see ...
- cake pan is round, about 9 inches in diameter, and about 3 inches tall. It does have a decorative bottom, and the sides slope outward some.
- as I recall, the batter filled the tin to about 1/2 full, which is why I didn't think there'd be a problem

(aside - do you have any idea how hard it is to type with a cat draped across both arms and your lap?) I am moderately thankful it's Bonnie who only weighs 5 pounds.

where were we...

making cake. It did occur to me that since I'm weighing the ingredients and the recipe uses 3 eggs, that if I did 1/3 recipe and see what happened I might be OK. We might make more cake in trial #3. Waist line what waist line?
