Making a smaller, taller Ultimate Carrot Cake
Asked on 11 Jan 2019 by cakebaker
Hi Lindsey
I would like to make the ultimate carrot cake for a tier on my son's wedding cake. I intend to replace the mascarpone with a flavoured buttercream. Once baked, how long would the cake keep unrefrigerated? I want to ice it with fondant.
Also how can I scale the recipe to 3 x 6 inch sandwich tins?
Many thanks!
P.S. i shall be using the fruit cake recipe again - it was a huge success for my other son's wedding!

Hello,
The original 2 egg recipe will probably make 3 ‘very slightly’ shallower 6 inch sandwich sponges (or a 3 egg version – i.e. 1.5 x the original recipe will probably make 3 x 6 inch sponges that are just a bit too deep!).
I would opt for the 2 egg recipe.
They will keep for 2 – 3 days in an airtight container in a cool place or make ahead and freeze until needed.
Hope it all goes well.
Best wishes
Lindsey
