Cake Pan Converter
Compare pan areas or batter volumes to find a recipe multiplier.
Open this toolChanging a cake pan can change batter depth even when the recipe quantity stays the same. Comparing internal dimensions is the first step.
Choose whether you are comparing area or batter volume and measure the inside of both pans. Use the multiplier as a recipe planning figure.

- Select Calculate result. Read the returned values alongside the assumptions below before copying, exporting or acting on the result.
Why use this tool
Area and volume comparisons help explain why a wider pan or a deeper tin may need a different batch quantity.
Before relying on the result
Use internal measurements. Straight sided pans are assumed. This gives a recipe multiplier, not an automatic baking time.
Tool limitations
Use internal measurements. Straight sided pans are assumed. This gives a recipe multiplier, not an automatic baking time.
Questions
Does the multiplier also set baking time?
No. Batter depth and the recipe affect baking time. Check doneness separately after choosing a suitable batch and pan.
What should I check before using Cake Pan Converter?
Check Preserve, Shape, Dimension unit and Diameter or length. Use the exact units shown beside the controls and replace any example values with your own inputs.
