I used a small Jiffy yellow cake mix and went with the bake time on the box....BUT, I checked with the cake tester well before the time was supposed to be up!
 
I've only ever done this in the Classic BB.... 350 F for about 50-55 minutes using an 18 oz. cake box mix. Check with cake tester.
 
I did a half of a regular cake mix in the small batter bowl when I was doing a springform pan recipe that called for the jiffy cake size and I only had a regular mix.

I baked it for the same time and temperature that the springform recipe called for which was 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees.
 
, as a Pampered Chef consultant, I would be happy to help you with your cake-making needs. To make a cake in the small batter bowl, you will need about 2 cups of cake batter. The temperature should be set at 350 degrees Fahrenheit and the baking time can vary, but typically it takes about 25-30 minutes. If you do not have a wonder mold, you can use the small batter bowl to create a similar shape. Simply grease the bowl and pour the batter inside, then bake as directed. I hope this helps with your dress-making project for Dora! Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy baking!
