Start with the batter volume your recipe produces, not the pan's diameter alone. A recipe written for roughly 4–5 cups of batter fits the 8-inch, one closer to 7–8 cups fits the 9.5-inch, and a full-size batch around 12 cups calls for the 11.2-inch. If your recipe doesn't state a batter volume, the pan size it names (8-inch, 9.5-inch, etc.) is the more reliable match.
Matching batter volume to pan capacity helps you choose a size without overfilling the pan. A pan that's too small can leave insufficient room for the batter to rise, while a much larger pan can produce a shallower cake and change the expected baking time. Comparing your recipe's batter volume with the approximate capacity of each pan is a practical way to choose a size.
