Are you baking a cake, and putting it in a pan twice as big? Then it will increase the time.You need to be careful about the size of the baking container you use. A giant cake wont cook in the middle. If you are making cookies and baking twice as many, probably not much.

It's not the amount of ingredients, it's the size of the dish or pan you are using that will determine the cooking time. What are you making? If you are making a cake or bread an dare using the same size pan as the recipe calls for, then you don't need to change anything. If you are changing the pan to a bigger one, yes it will affect the cooking time. If you are just making more of something like tarts or cookies, it doesn't matter about the cooking time.

Probably the thickness of the dough is what extends the baking time. I now use a instand read thermometer and when it says anything over 205 its done.
-
that depends on the size of the pan you put it in.

not sure

There are qualifications such as size of pan but generally, yes. It's a bit of guess work and requires a fair amount of checking because doubling the amount of food being cooked requires considerably less than double the cooking time.
