Baking cakes in an Aga
Asked on 9 Feb 2021 by Jenny
Hi Lindsay
I have a four oven gas Aga with a baking oven.
Can I cook my Delia cakes such as coffee and walnut sponge etc in the baking oven?
I know Delia has an Aga and may be able to give advice if you are not sure
Thank you for any assistance you can give me

Dear Jenny,
Delia doesn’t use her Aga for baking cakes.
It sounds like you have a very good Aga that is probably reliable, and I expect you have one or two Aga specific cookbooks. For this cake I would follow the cooking instructions for a classic sponge cake which has been tested in an Aga. Or the Aga website have a recipe is you don’t have a book at hand.
