Changing baking tins - Person Holding White Ceramic Bowl

I have a recipe that uses a 20cm round tin (7.5cm deep), I want to make the cake in three 20cm shallow tins, do I need to alter the time and temp?

Hope this makes sense.

How do you adjust baking pans with different size?

    If you're dead set on going with pans of different volumes, you will need to scale the ingredients up or down.

    What happens if you use a bigger cake tin?

    "If the pan is too big, the sides shield the batter and slow down the baking," says Levy Beranbaum, explaining that the resulting cake will be drier and paler than intended. "If the pan is too small, the batter will run over the sides and the cake will collapse from inadequate support."
