Making a square Christmas cake this year.

Asked on 8 Oct 2022 by Gemma Wishart

Hello, I've been making your classic Christmas cake for the last few years and absolutely love it.
This year I'd like to make it in a square tin and was wondering if I need to change anything for example quantity of cake batter and cooking time.

Many thanks
Gemma

Hello Gemma,

The 8 inch round classic cake mix makes a 7 inch square cake.

With square cakes I always put some extra layers for protections on the corners to prevent them catching.

Kind regards

Lindsey
