Can I convert a recipe from a bundt pan (10-cup standard) to another pan?

Yes. Equivalent: Two 9-inch round pans or one 9x13 rectangular pan. Adjust baking time — shallower pans bake faster, deeper pans need more time. Bundt cakes are dense — not all cake recipes work. Use recipes with at least 3 cups flour. Fill 2/3 to 3/4 full maximum

How do I know what size cake pan to use?

Match the recipe batter volume to pan capacity. Fill pans 1/2 to 2/3 full. Measure pan volume by filling with water. Most layer cake recipes are designed for two 9-inch rounds.
