They’ll be thinner in a larger pan, so the bake time will be less.

I’m making strawberry-lemon blondies. The recipe calls for a 9 x 9 pan. I want to use a 9 x 13 instead. How should the baking time be adjusted? Thank you!

Usually cakes baked in 3 8-inch or 9-inch pans can be baked in a 9×13 – just make sure you don’t over fill it. Jelly Roll pans – it’s a totally different method.

If I have a recipe that calls for 3 x 9 inch cakes pans, how would I convert that to a 9×13 pan? How would I convert that to a jelly roll pan? Would I need to double or triple the cake recipe? How would baking times change. I want to make this cake for a large crowd. I also have 12 inch cake pans. Would I have to double for 2 layers?

Depending on what you’re making you can use a 9×9 or two loaf pans. If it’s a bar cookie or something like that a 9×9 should be just fine (but again, it really depends on the recipe).

Question:
What do I use when a recipe calls for a 9 by 11 inch pan?

In reply to Katie.

A 8×4 loaf pan will proably be just fine!

Came here hoping to find an alternative for a two cup baking dish lol. I’m making a small personal cobbler and just have regular size loaf pans and not too certain what to use at the moment.

Thank you, Dorothy! The chart I’ve used for years doesn’t cover the particular situation I’m in. I did a search and found this page, and I greatly appreciate this!

I know it’s a late reply, but try looking through websites using the search terms “recipe scaler”. (6 month later reply here.)
