If a recipe is for 8x8, can I double the recipe and bake in a 9x13?  Will bake time be the same? TIA !

@Pezzie 

It will NOT be the same baking time.

What are you making?

Krusteaz raspberry bars.  A friend gave me two boxes and each box calls for 8x8.  
I would like to use both boxes and use a 9x13.

No, the bake time will not remain the same.

@RedTop 

Would it be more or less, so I can start monitoring at the approximate time ? thanks.

@Pezzie 

It should be more.   A cake in a 9x13 bakes for at least 35 minutes.   If the bars bake for close to 20 minutes, I would start checking them at 30.

@Pezzie since the bars are a two step process, you should be able to see when the crust is brown around the edges and then when filling is bubbly and top is golden.  i would use the orginal instructions and add time as needed.  sounds delicious.

Anytime you double a recipe, the time required to cook it will increase.

Thanks eveyone !

I would just use two pans...
