How many people can a cake made with this tin feed?

if you take an ordinary 7" victoria sponge recipie and take into account that i have to make the equivalent of 8 of these to fill this tin far enough that when it rises it fills the tin then that gives you a rough idea its certainly equally as big as the largest party cake asda sell, it depends on the size of your party, we like very large slices and have easily fed 16 smaller slices and you could probably double that amount.make sure you grease and line the tin though with baking paper even if tins say non stick you never know and you dont want your hard work ruined.

What size cake board would you get for this cake

Measure your tin and allow 2.5 cm all around. I couldn't find one big enough so i cut out three layers from a cardboard box and wrapped it in foil. It worked,

How much fruit cake mix is needed?

Hi, What I did was first to measure the book tin and my usual cake tin and calculate the volume. In my case the book was more than 3 tim bigger. then i experimented. I put a victoria sponge mixture ( 2oog marge, 150g sugar 4 med. eggs 2oog s-r flour) into half the book tin, just one page. It baked well bur was nowhere nearly deep enough. From this I worked out that I needed 41/2. times the quantity I normally used. I advise a similar experiment. A word of warning: thetin is super smooth but it is very thin. When I made the book cake I greased the tin, sat it on a baking tray (you mightn't need to do this for a fruit cake as the base is unlikely to burn) but do wrap the outside of the tin in layers of paper or foil to ensure the sides don't get singed. I cook fruit cakes at a fairly low temperature for hours so that would be a help against the sides getting too hot. Hope this helps. The finished cake looked great. I hope yours turns out well.

Hi there, can anyone explain what they mean by "2 mix". I don't know if my 2 lots of batter will be the same as what they suggest? help!

i had the same problem but i managed to work it out eventually, this tin actually takes four standard victoria sponge mixes two in each side of the book but i work with six as you want the cake to rise above the top of the tin so you can level it off. so 3 in each side of the book any trimmed off goes lovely spread with jam in the bottom of a trifle, or just with jam and custard as a pudding at tea time. it is a beautiful cake when decorated, but dont forget to lengthen the cooking time accordingly. wrap some doubled brown paper around the edge of the tin so it stands about two inches higher than the sides all around and put a piece over the top when cooking, it will prevent the outer parts of the cake drying out or over cooking during the extended baking time.
