12 inch Square Wedding Cake
Delia's Classic Christmas cake recipe.
I've made this cake many times in various sizes, all very successfully, however, I've now been asked to make a 12" square wedding cake, which I have never made. Your recipe conversion chart only goes up to 10". As it is such an important cake can you upscale the ingredients for me or tell me the percentage increase I need from Delia's original recipe in her Christmas book.
Thank you in advance :)
Madeira Swap
Hello Lindsey
Hope you are well. Loving the new look site. Great easy to use layout.
May I ask a question please - I am making Delia's Oven Baked Mushroom Risotto tomorrow night. However, I forgot to buy the dry madeira! Can I substitute it with Marsala? Or do you think I should top if up with just warm water?
Thank you very much
Best wishes
