Hi Lindsey

I would like to half the Light Glace fruit christmas cake:

is there a conversion chart for this?
what size round tin would I use?
what oven temperature?
how long would I cook for?

Thank you and i look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards
Beverley

Hello Beverley,

No there isn’t a conversion chart for this cake.

I think half the recipe will work in a 6 inch / 15cm round tin.

The oven temperature stays the same.

I would give it an hour then cover it and check it again after 15 minutes to see if it needs longer.

Kind regards

Lindsey
