About the 6 inch Christmas cake
Asked on 15 Aug 2019 by AOD
Thank you for your reply on making 6" Christmas Cake.
In the online recipe is says 3 tablespoons of brandy for both 6" and 8" cake to soak fruit in. In Delia's Cake book it says 100ml, not sure that 3 tablespoons = 100ml? Which amount do you suggest?

Hello,
The scaling up chart is based on the original recipe but you’ve correctly spotted a typo.
The 100mls is an increased quantity for the 8 inch version.
The chart should say 1 ½ tablespoons for the 6 inch cake, which is actually 30 mls (using Delia’s old-fashioned tablespoon which is 20mls) but based on the most recent recipe I would use 50 ml in the 6 inch cake.
I’ll ask for the chart to be adjusted. Thanks for bring it to our attention.
Best wishes
Lindsey
