Figuring 3 times the ingredients called for, I used TWO 9" X 13" pans, instead of THREE 9" X 9" pans. They sunk on me, and I did not open the oven. I set the timer for the maximum time on the recipe, and figured I could look in at that time, and extend the time. Then I could use a cake tester. IT FAILED! Could the problem be that I didn't increase the temperature? Could it be that the aluminum pans expanded, whereas a regular square pan would not do that? I was in the other room and I heard a sound, like a pan expanding and nobody opened the oven!

How To Make how do i triple a recipe which uses 9 inch pan?

  • Step 1
    Following the recipe, I creamed the butter and added the sugar, then added the sour cream and the eggs. Mixed all with a stand mixer.
  • Step 2
    Measured carefully the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Everything is fairly fresh, I don't keep things for a long time, I use them often.
  • Step 3
    Preheated oven to 350 degrees. Buttered and lightly floured each pan. Poured equal amount of batter in each pan and baked side by side on middle shelf of the oven.
