Joyce, simply pour water into the pan, one cup at a time, until it it's about 2/3 full: that's the bakeable capacity of the pan. For what it's worth, most cake recipes that will give you two 9" or three 8" layers, or a 9" x 5" pound cake, are for 6 cups of batter. Many Bundt cake recipes are just a bit bigger. Susan
