Cook it only 5 minutes... I don't think so.

Don't you mean how much *less* time to cook the smaller cake?

Between a 10" and 8" there's a big difference in volume, do not use
the entire recipe in the smaller pan... but it would probably require
only a few minutes less cooking time... check with a toothpick.
