Questions
Making a Creole Cake
When should I make the Creole Christmas cake
Coffee Walnut Loaf Cake
Hello. Could i bake Delia's coffee and walnut cake in a loaf tin instead of sandwich tins? Thank you!
Making small Christmas cakes
Hello. I'm a long time fan of Delia's and her recipes. If I need a recipe for something, I check to see if Delia has one first before I look elsewhere. Everything I've made using Delia's recipes has been a success.
I rarely, if ever deviate from Delia's instructions. This year, I would like to make Delia's Traditional Christmas Fruitcake. However, instead of a 20cm round cake tin, I'd like to make smaller cakes in 10cm (inner diameter) round tins.
Also, can I substitute an 18cm square tin for the 20cm round?
