I have a cathedral cake pan and it's big, will I need to double the recipe?

I haven't made it yet, but I am going to try cardamom essential oil in mine!!! It keeps forever, unlike the cardamom spice that has an expiration. So excited, thanks for the recipe!!

Made for the Goddesses of ZWT-9 & Family Picks - This recipe was made as written & the flavor is outstanding, but it was the texture that got my most immediate attention & the word VELVET came instantly to mind. The cake is a bit smaller in stature than most bundt cakes, but surprisingly I had to cook it an extra 10 min for it to test done w/a toothpick. This delicious cake will be served to family & friends at an afternoon coffee (less my taste test portion) & my bet is I'll be asked for your recipe. Thx for sharing this sure-to-be-repeated recipe w/us. Yum!

This is a very good cake. The only reason it was given 4 stars instead of 5 is the 10 vanilla wafers. I had a ton of crushed wafers left over. I think 2 or 3 would have been sufficient. Maybe the wafers in Norway are different than the ones here? Made for ZWT9 Soup A Stars.
