To use a 9 inch Square Pan instead of a 8 inch Square Pan, multiply all ingredients in the recipe by 1.27.
Why Pan Area Matters
A 9-inch round cake pan has an area of 63.6 square inches, whereas a 9-inch square pan has an area of 81 square inches. That is a 27% difference in area, meaning recipes cannot be swapped 1:1 without adjusting ingredients or baking duration!
