I’m so glad it seems to have worked out! Minecraft bee cakes sounds like a challenge! I wonder what she’ll want next year…:)

Hi Louisa,

Apologies for the slow reply. I think you should find your answer again at https://cakesbylynz.com. She has a fabulous article on how to convert cake recipes for any size tin and gives the mathematical guidance you would need… https://cakesbylynz.com/index.php/2021/04/how-to-convert-cake-recipes-for-any-size-tin-or-cake-pan/

Hope this helps!

Hi Ruth
Thanks for responding
I’m the same baking wise ! As I need to decorate the cake tonight I’ve taken the plunge and used the measurements for the 9inch round cake and it seems to have worked OK 👍
I have the yearly task of baking my granddaughter’s birthday cake and this years brief from the nine year old to be tomorrow is for a Minecraft bee cake .
Wish me luck 😩

Hi Lizzie,
Thanks so much for your question. I’m afraid I’m feeling a bit out of my depth on these cake technicalities! I’m a very basic baker who can knock out a reasonable cake, but I’m very far from Bake Off standard and the more I investigate these baking conundrums, the more I realise how limited my knowledge is. However, I have come across an amazing website called Cakes by Lynx (https://cakesbylynz.com/) and I think you will find the correct advice and guidance there!
Best of luck and sorry I can’t be of more help,

Ruth

TIA
Liz

I plan to bake a 9 inch round cake.
I wonder if you could advise me how much coffee and walnuts i need?

I’ve had a look online and I believe you need to multiply the ingredients for the 8” square cake by 1.56 to get the quantities for the square 10” cake. So you would need: 700g sf flour
625g sugar
625g butter
11 eggs
80ml milk.
Temperature and timings for a shallow cake should be about the same as for the 8” cake.

Hi Jayne, I think you will have to look at it on a PC or iPad. Sorry!

Please could you tell me the quantities for a 10inch square cake.

Many thanks
Kind regards

Hi Brenda- thanks for your question. There is no need for baking powder as the recipe uses self raising flour.
