Making a 9 inch square Classic Christmas Cake
Asked on 7 Nov 2022 by SueNM
I’ve been making the classic Christmas cake for more years than I can remember and it’s fabulous every time. This year I have to make a larger one but notice that your brilliant ‘scaling up’ section doesn’t include a 9 inch square tin which is what’s required! Is it possible for you to scale up the ingredients to this size please?
Many thanks in anticipation

Hello Sue,
I haven’t tested this, but I would make either a 6 egg or a 7 egg classic Christmas cake for a 9 inch square tin.
Based on this chart you could add the 2 & 5 egg quantities to make the 7 egg or add the 2 & 4 to make the 6 egg version.
Give it extra layers of protection around the outside to help stop it drying out or catching on the corners, and make sure the top is covered with a double layer of parchment (not touching the cake mix).
I would have a peek at 4 hours then every 15 – 30 minutes after that depending on how it’s looking.
Kind regards
Lindsey
