x0.55 multiplier
Recipe scaling
scale ingredients down × 0.55
Area ratio: 64 / 117 sq in
Bake time
Decrease bake time by 10–20%
Depth & temp
Batter will be deeper - reduce oven temp by 10-15 °C (25 °F) and check early.
Multiplier is based on pan area. For recipes measured by volume (cups, mL), multiply each ingredient by ×0.55. Always check doneness with a toothpick - oven variations apply.

What Matters for This Conversion
- - Use about 1.27x ingredient multiplier.
- - Shallower batter typically bakes faster at the edges.
- - Start checking doneness earlier than the original time.
FAQ
Is a 9x9 really 25% bigger than an 8x8?
Yes in area terms: 81 vs 64 sq in, so 81/64 = 1.27x.
Should I increase oven temperature?
Usually no. Keep temperature and reduce bake time first.
Will texture change?
It can. Shallower batters brown faster and may set drier at edges.
Can I scale by 1.25x instead of 1.27x?
Yes, 1.25x is a practical kitchen shortcut.
