Baking the last minute Christmas Cake
Asked on 1 Oct 2018 by Helen
Hi there,
I have made the last minute Christmas cake on two occasions. Both times it sank a little in the middle. Also the outside was a little burned.
Do you know if anyone else had this experience and do you have any ideas on how to avoid this? I love the flavour and also its a great use of my own mince meat!
Many thanks
Helen

Hello Helen,
What temperature did you bake the cakes and did you use a fan setting?
Kind regards

Hi
I have baked it at 170 degrees. I do have a fan oven.
Do you think I should reduce the temperature and extend the duration of the cooking time?
Many thanks
Helen
Hi Helen,
All of Delia’s recipes with an eclectic oven temperature have been tested in a conventional oven, using top and bottom heat.
If you have a fan oven, we advise that you should reduce the given temperature by 20 degrees.
Kind regards
Lindsey
