Understanding Cake Pan Conversion
How Pan Conversion Works
Cake pan conversion is based on the volume relationship between two pans. When you change pan sizes, you need to adjust the recipe proportionally to maintain the same cake height and texture.
Volume vs. Area Calculations
- •Volume: Used when pan heights are different
- •Area: Used when pan heights are the same
- •Round pans: Area = π × radius²
- •Rectangular pans: Area = length × width
Baking Time Adjustments
Baking time doesn't scale linearly with recipe size. Here are general guidelines:
- •Larger pans: May need 10-25% more time
- •Smaller pans: May need 10-25% less time
- •Same height: Time remains similar
- •Always test: Use toothpick for doneness
Pro Tip: Start checking for doneness 10-15 minutes before the original recipe time when using different pan sizes.
