Multiply every recipe ingredient by 1.09× when converting 9×13-inch Quarter-Sheet / Baking Pan to Two 9-inch Round Cake Pans (Layer Set) (14 cups vs. 16 cups capacity). Keep original recipe oven temperature unchanged. Start checking doneness 3–5 minutes before original minimum bake time.
Pan note (1.09×): Multiply all recipe ingredients by 1.09× (surface-area ratio). Generous 2-layer yield; slightly exceeds a standard 9×13 pan so fill a 9×13 no more than 2/3 full.
Supports fractions (2 1/2 cups, ¾ cup), metric weights (200g), US butter sticks, and packing notes (packed, sifted, scooped).
