Asked on 12 Nov 2019 by gemstar80

Hi,
Every year i follow Delia's Classic Christmas cake recipe.
This year i'm looking to make it in a 3lb (1990ml) heavy gauge load tin instead of the 8inch round tin.
How will i need to adjust the recipe please?
Many Thanks
Gemma

How high do you want your cake to be? That's nearly double the depth of our tin!
