My Christmas Cake is burnt - continued

Hello Sue McGloin,

Thank you for coming back to me regarding your previous post.

Your Christmas cake was most like burnt because you used a fan setting.

All of Delia’s recipes with an eclectic oven temperature have been tested in a conventional oven, using top and bottom heat.

If you have a fan oven, we advise that you should reduce the given temperature by 20 degrees. 

However as the classic Christmas cake is baked on a lower shelf I would reduce it to 115 degrees.

As fan ovens cook much faster I would have a cautions peek at 3 hours the first time you bake this recipe in your oven at this temperature on a fan setting.

Best wishes

Lindsey
