8-Inch Round to 10-Inch Round Cake Pan: Multiply Recipe by 1.56×
Multiply every recipe ingredient by 1.56× when converting 8-inch Round Cake Pan (2" deep) to 10-inch Round Cake Pan (2" deep) (6 cups vs. 11 cups capacity). Lower oven temperature by 15–25°F (10–15°C) if baking a single wide/deep pan. Expect +5 to +12 minutes of bake time if batter depth increases.
Pan note (1.56×): Multiply all recipe ingredients by 1.56× (surface-area ratio). Lower oven temperature by 15–25°F (10°C) for large 10-inch layers so edges stay tender.
Supports fractions (2 1/2 cups, ¾ cup), metric weights (200g), US butter sticks, and packing notes (packed, sifted, scooped).
