Susie's picture
Asked on 28 Jan 2022 by Susie

Hello, this is the first time l have made Creole (Christmas) cake, l am using the half amounts of ingredients and will cook in a 7inch round tin.
It would be 2 hr 50mins at 140 conventional oven,
Please which oven & how long shall i use in the Aga?

Also if i don’t have Demerara sugar, can i use light soft brown or muscovado either light or dark ?

Thank you very much for your help,

Hello,

Yes, you can use light, dark or muscovado sugar instead of Demerara.

Cooking in the Aga depends on your Aga. I suspect your cake will bake faster in the hot oven and longer in the low oven. I would use an oven thermometer to help estimate the time that it will need.

Kind regards

Lindsey
