Baking Recipe Scaler
Cookie and cake recipes list precise cups and teaspoons — scaling by servings keeps ratios consistent for flour, sugar, and fat.
The worked example jumps a cookie batch from 12 to 24 servings. Extreme scale factors can affect rise; v1 uses straight multiplication and tells you to adjust leavening by feel if needed.
Use the controls below — units default to cups and teaspoons in the example.
Scaled from 12 to 24 servings (×2)
| Ingredient | Original | Scaled |
|---|---|---|
| all-purpose flour | 2 1/2 cups | 5 cups |
| granulated sugar | 1 1/2 cups | 3 cups |
| unsalted butter | 1 cup | 2 cups |
| baking powder | 2 tsp | 4 tsp |
| salt | 1/2 tsp | 1 tsp |
| large eggs | 3 pieces | 6 pieces |
| vanilla extract | 1 tsp | 2 tsp |
Salt, pepper, and strong spices often need less than a straight multiply — taste as you go.
Scaled amounts are arithmetic estimates. Adjust to taste, especially for salt and spices.
