What is that in another unit?
1 tablespoon = 15 ml and 1 teaspoon = 5 ml. Spoon dry ingredients level and do not pack them.
Cake tins
Adjust for another cake tin
Use the inside measurements in centimetres. The calculation keeps the batter depth approximately the same.
Common kitchen measurement equivalents
Volume units are fixed, but the weight of a cup depends on the ingredient.

How to scale a recipe for a different number of servings

Recipe scaling formula
Divide the required servings by the original servings. For example, scaling 4 servings to 6 gives a factor of 1.5, so 200 g flour becomes 300 g.
What should be adjusted carefully?
Taste salt and strong spices as you go. Raising agents do not always scale perfectly. Oven temperature normally stays the same; cooking time depends on the dish and its depth.
Frequently asked questions
Answers about scaling servings, grams and cups, cake tins and saving a recipe.
Divide the number of servings you need by the original yield, then multiply every ingredient by that factor. The calculator does this automatically.
No. Water is approximately 1 g per ml, but flour, sugar, butter and honey all have different densities. Choose the ingredient in the converter.
Using the spoon-and-level method, a US cup of plain flour is about 120 g; a 250 ml metric cup is about 127 g. Flour type and measuring method can change the result.
No. Cooking time depends on the tin, depth, oven and food. Keep the stated temperature and begin checking at the usual time.
Enter the inside dimensions of the original and new tins. The calculator compares their base areas and gives the ingredient multiplier.

Calculation method
Servings are scaled proportionally and cake tins are compared by base area. Ingredient volume-to-weight figures are approximate because products and measuring methods vary. The density reference is the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart. King Arthur Baking.
