Asked on 23 Oct 2018 by TinaM1 Hi Lindsey I am about to make Christmas cakes can you tell me egg sizes, please? Do I use medium or large? Thank you. Tina.M Lindsey, Food Editor replied Hello Tina M, For the Classic Christmas Cake we use 4 large eggs but you can use 5 medium eggs instead. For the Creole we use 5 large eggs but you could use 6 – 7 medium eggs instead. (I.e. use 7 if they’re on the smaller side). Best wishes Lindsey Do you have a question for Delia or Lindsey? Why not ask your question now.
