I followed the recipe, but my batter came out very thick and barely covered the pan. I'm wondering whether some additional liquid was missing.

We didn't have that kind of problem, Dick. When your cake batter become too much thick then you can add a little bit more water until it becomes softer or you can also use milk or butter in your batter in a little bit more to make it less thick.
