Making a 2 ramekin recipe into an 8 ramekin recipe: Do I change the cooking time?
I've read answers about doubling a casserole recipe in a larger container, or putting two cake pans in the oven instead of one. But what about a recipe that asks you to put your ramekins into a shallow pan with an inch of water in it, and you want to do that with 8 ramekins instead of the two that the recipe is intended for? Do you have to add time? Reduce the temperature? Both?

Should be exactly the same - what you are cooking is the same size, how many you are cooking makes no difference. One cupcake or 50 would take the same amount of time to cook, if that's easier to think of. A pan of boiling water in the oven does not care how many ramekins are in it, so long as there's some space between them

When you double a recipe what happens to the baking time?
6. Cooking and baking time will be different. When you double a batch of cookies it doesn't take double the time to bake them, it just makes more of them. Doubling a cake will make it take longer to bake, but it won't double the time.How do you adjust baking time?
Just increase the oven temp by 25 degrees F and decrease the bake time by a quarter. In this particular example, since your pan is 1 inch larger, more surface area will be exposed. The liquid in the cake batter will evaporate quicker, which means it will bake faster.How do you calculate baking time?
There is no fixed formula for baking times as all ovens vary. All that can be done is to follow the timing for the original recipe of two hours and make adjustment for the additional amount of mixture in the scaled up recipe. The chocolate cake recipe also fits into one 10" square tin and bakes for approx two hours.How do you measure a ramekin?
Ramekins do come in an array of sizes, measured by the ounces they hold. These small bowls range from holding one-ounce up to 12 ounces, with the most utilized and versatile size being the six-ounce ramekin.Time to Dish: Cooking with Ramekins
