CAKE PAN CONVERSIONS CALCULATOR
Recipe calls for a 9-inch cake pan and you’ve only got a 7-inch one? Want to bake brownies in a round pan instead of a square / rectangular one? Or want to bake a bigger cake for a party? These are perhaps some of the common problems that we home bakers face because firstly, many of us cannot afford stocking up different shapes and sizes of baking tins and pans at home due to space and budget constraints. And secondly, there may be times when we want to bake a cake in a different size – a bigger cake for a party or just a mini cake for that someone special. Scaling recipes properly and accurately is important because if you try to bake a 7-inch cake in a 9-inch cake pan and follow the baking times stipulated in the recipe, not only will you get a very thin and flat cake, you will also most likely end up with a burnt cake because the cake will be cooked for way too long. If you do it the other way round – baking a 9-inch cake in a 7-inch cake pan – there will too much batter and the baking times will be a lot longer than the one stipulated in the recipe and there is a risk that your cake batter will overflow, leaving a mess in the oven *horrors*. For me, most of the times I need to scale down recipes because I’m baking only for 2 people these days – if I bake a full recipe, we will have trouble finishing all of the desserts (not to mention the disastrous effects on my waistline). But not to worry, this Cake Pan Conversions Calculator is here to help! Calculator at link
