I have a recipe that makes bars in a 13x9 pan. If I cut the recipe in half, would it be suitable for a 9x9 pan? Or would there be too much/not enough batter?

Let's see… the area of the bottom of a 13 x 9 pan is 117 sq inches. a 9 x 9 is 81 sq inches. If we presume you're going for, say, 3 inches deep, that 351 cubic inches vs 243 cubic inches. That means that if you half the recipe, you'll only have enough batter for 175.5 cubic inches of volume. Which means you won't have enough.
What might work better is to make about 7/10 of the recipe size. That should give you the right about of batter.

I know that in non-bundt cake recipes, if you use that cake batter to make cupcakes instead, they recommend cutting the baking time in half.

No reason why not, Coco.

So, a recipe calls for 8 in round pans x 3. I want to make cupcakes. How many will I end up with and do I change the temperature?
