Last Minute Wedding Cake

Asked on 10 Feb 2024 by lizzig

I want to make Delia's Mincemeat Christmas cake for a last minute wedding cake but need to upscale the ingredients for a 10" and 12" cake.
Please can you advise?
Thank you!!

Hello,

As we haven’t made this recipe in those sizes I could advise how to increase the quantities, but I’m not sure that the cake will bake well at the same temperature and for how long.

In the same situation I would do a classic Christmas cake. It still tastes great without the maturing time and has a proven record over time.

Let me know what you would like to do.

Kind regards

Lindsey

Thank you for your quick response. Which recipe would you suggest please? I would imagine a lighter mix might be better for such a short maturing time?

Thanks so much

Liz

I don't know how much time you have but I would do classic and feed once or twice.
