Formula

factor = (W₁L₁) ÷ (W₂L₂) × depth factor

Recipe amounts scale with pan area when batter depth stays similar. Adjust depth factor if the new tin is deeper or shallower.

Worked example

Moving from 20×30 cm to 23×33 cm multiplies ingredients by about 1.26.

Where this can give the wrong answer

  • Extreme shape changes (round to square) are approximate.
  • Bake time may need tuning even with correct batter volume.
  • Single-layer vs layer cakes differ in stacking logic.

FAQ

1.0 if depth matches. If the new pan is 20% deeper, try 1/1.2 ≈ 0.83 for batter volume match.
