Hi Liz

No it won’t, the quantity will not give you the depth, there will not be sufficient batter.
You will need to double the quantities of an 8 + 6 regardless of whether it is round or square. However, if the recipe is for round and you are making a square cake or visa versa the proportions will be different.

The recipe for Paul’s chocolate cake is set for a 10″ square so you can scale up or down using the ready reckoner or the cakeometre tools for round or square shaped tins:
