How do I scale a recipe from 4 to 10 servings?

Divide desired servings by original servings (10÷4=2.5), then multiply every ingredient quantity by that factor. For baking, be cautious — leavening agents may need proportionally less.

Does baking scale linearly?

No. Baking time, temperature, and leavening agents do not scale linearly. Larger batches often need longer baking times but not necessarily more baking powder.
