Pick the pan you have and the pan the recipe wants — we compare volumes and tell you whether it works straight, needs a time tweak, or wants a scaled recipe.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use a different pan than the recipe says?
Usually yes — match the volume. A 9" round and 8" square both hold ~6 cups, so they swap directly.
How do I adjust baking time?
Thinner batter (bigger pan) bakes faster — check 5–10 min early. Deeper batter needs 5–10 min more. Always test with a toothpick.
What if my pan is much bigger?
Beyond ~25% volume difference, scale the recipe instead of forcing it — thin cakes dry out, deep ones stay raw inside.
Do I need to adjust temperature?
No — keep the temp, adjust the time. Only the depth changes, not the heat needed.
