Has anyone ever made cake batter, then let it sit in the fridge overnight?

I was in the middle of making multiple cakes and got pulled away from them. I had around 3 cups of batter left in my bowl, so I stuck it in the fridge.. I don't want to waste it but I also don't want to waste time by trying to bake it and having something horrible happen..
Thanks!

I wonder what would happen if you let it come to room temp and then added some baking powder? Since it's probably not going to be usable for a "real" cake at this point--why not experiment? Just a thought.

If you decide to--let me know how it turns out!

My cakes usually come out flat too but try lisa's idea for experiment's sake.

I have let it sit in the fridge overnight then just let it come to room temp and mixed it again w/ mixer, just for a few seconds, and it baked up fine...just my experience!

I haven't had any problem with putting batter in the fridge either...I too just let it come to room temp for about 20 minutes and then mix it up again and bake.....haven't had any problems.

Thanks for all the advice. I'm just getting around today.. so I'll start baking in a little bit. I'll tell you how it goes!

It worked.. I let the batter sit out for about a half hour. I made it into a little spare cake for my fiance so he would leave my weddng cake alone! I didn't add anything to it and it tasted and rose up fine. Thanks!

that was so good to know I have many time needed to stop baking but did want to waist batter

Thanks for sharing that info...it is very good to know!
