When using an 8 inch round cake pan instead of a 10 inch springform pan how do you calculate baking time?

When using an 8-inch round cake pan instead of a 10-inch springform pan, you will likely need to adjust the baking time since the smaller pan will hold less batter and may cook faster. A general rule is to start checking for doneness about 5-10 minutes earlier than the original recipe suggests. Use a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center to determine if it's done; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Adjust as needed based on your specific oven and recipe.
