NIKKI: Good Morning. YES!!!, you can change the configuration of the pan in baking your cake. Consider this Nikki, The tube/bundt pan is much deeper than the round cake pan, isn't it???. SOOO, Your baking time will be less. How much less???, I do not know. However Nikki, after baking your cake after 15-18 minutes you should consider changing the baking position in the oven to insure even baking, because ovens do not cook evenly. You can safely assume at least 5-7 minutes less. At that time you can monitor the cake every 5-7 minutes. The cake is baked when you notice that it is shrinking from it's sides. Do not hesitate, remove it & place it on a cooling rack for 10-15 minutes. Always place a sheet of parchment paper on the bottom of your cake & grease the sides as well for easy removal. Good luck with your cake baking my friend & have a nice day. ~CHEF DUNASK.

Round Cake Pans: 8 x 1 1/2 inch deep = 4 cups batter 9 x 1 1/2 inch deep = 6 cups batter
Pie Plates: 8 x 1 1/4 inch deep = 3 cups batter to be level with top; 4 to 4 1/2 cups batter, mounded 9 x 1/2 inch deep = 4 cups batter to be level with top; 5 to 6 cups batter, mounded
