Baking a recipe in a different pan? Enter the recipe's pan and the one you'd like to use — get the exact coefficient to multiply every ingredient by. Same batter height, different pan size.
Skip the calculator when the numbers are round: find your row, slide across to the recipe's column, and multiply every ingredient by the coefficient. Same math as above — just precomputed for the cake-pan sizes you'll actually use.

Need square or rectangular pans, or a different size than the table covers? Use the calculator above — it handles any shape and dimension and gives you the same coefficient to three decimals.
