Delia's All-In-One Christmas Cake

Asked on 9 Nov 2016 by NateJ

Hi Lindsey,

Does Delia's Classic Christmas cake need baking powder now that it's done all in one?

Thanks,
Nate

Lindsey, Food Editor replied

Hello Nate,

No Delia doesn’t add baking powder to her all-in-one Christmas Cake.

Kind regards

Lindsey

Thank you! I had looked in my Delia's Cakes book and noted that there was no baking powdered and wondered if it was needed, as this was an all in 1.

SO far it's been 1 12x12 tray bake (the basic recipes x 3) and 2x18cm tall tins -- one more 20cm to go.

Sounds very busy! Must smell wonderfully Christmassy in your house.
