Cooking Creole Cake in a fan oven
Asked on 28 Nov 2020 by adamdnewsome
Hi there
I’m baking 4 of Delia’s Christmas Creole Cakes and need to check of the temperature of 140 degrees is for a normal or fan oven? I’m using a fan oven so am keen to know if I need to reduce the temperature as after soaking all the fruit for 4 days I obviously want the baking to be spot on. Also I’m using a baking band give me an even rise...do you think this is a good idea?
Many thanks
Adam

Hello Adam,
All of Delia’s electric oven settings are for a normal conventional oven.
Generally, we recommend reducing a conventional oven temperature by 20 degrees when using a fan setting.
We don’t use baking bands but I have heard some positive comments about them.
Kind regards
Lindsey
