Asked on 27 Oct 2018 by Jacky Hi, I'm making the Christmas sherry cake but want to make a 6" cake instead of the 8" as per the recipe. How do I scale down the ingredients please. Thank you. Lindsey, Food Editor replied Hello, I think that half of the Christmas Sherry Mincemeat Cake recipe will work in a 6 inch tin. You could use 2 medium eggs or if you’re using large ones beat them and use ¾ of the mixture. I would take a peek after an hour to see how it’s doing. Remember to reduce the temperature by 20 degrees if you are using a fan setting. Best wishes Lindsey Do you have a question for Delia or Lindsey? Why not ask your question now.
