If A Recipe Calls For 2 Pans Can I Make 1 Large?

Hi, i wouldn't do it, normally they say this because if you make one pan with all the batter it takes really long to bake, and doesn't do your cakes any good. Besides it is not a problem if you leave the batter for awhile to bake one cake and then the other, i have an oven that is not big enough.
About wanting a high cake, you have to place both cakes on top of each other that is you are making half of them by baking them seperately. I hope i made myself a bit clear, i am dutch 
so sorry for my bad english.
O yeah, normally with these kind of recipes you put 1/3 of batter in one pan and 2/3 of batter in the other pan , the 2/3 batter-cake you can divide into two halves so you will have 2 layers of filling.
Good luck!!

you can put it all into one pan, but it depends on the size of pan you are wanting to put it into.
Most pans say they can hold so many cups, so you'll need to know how many cups of batter you have with your recipe.
Take a look at the wilton chart here (links at bottom of page for 2" and 3" pans) and see what size pan you want to use and how many cups of batter you need.

if you have any questions about the chart just ask!

I actually just did this because I didn't have two of the same pans. So I made it in one and cut it...anyways, it will definetly take longer...so I'd reduce the temperature a bit..my recipe called for 350 so I went down to 300...and added another 15 minutes of cooking time. Good Luck
I put double batches all in one pan sometimes, but I guess the deal really depends on what size pans you are using.
