Some kind person posted a link to this recipe yesterday but although I found it, it is in American cups and would appear to make three cakes.

Anyone know how to convert this? It sounds very yummy with soured cream and cinnamon!

I did search in the collections and in previous threads but havent found it!

    Was it this recipe?

    I've never had much luck when converting cups to metric, I just bought a cheap set of cup measures and use them whenever I come across a US recipe I want to try ... but there are lots of conversion tables available, like this one.

    Well, you could use this site. It seems pretty comprehensive.

    Thank you both. The only stumbling block now is 4 1/2 cups of all purpose flour- is that SR and that would be 2 cups? The sugar I have worked out to be 24 oz which seems a bit high- did you alter that.

    The cinnamon and soured cream addition sound lovely.

    All-purpose flour is plain. The sugar content is high but the whole recipe makes four loaves, which works about about 6oz per loaf ... so it's not *that* much, probably only what I'd use if I was making a loaf cake anway. If you look in the comments some people have replaced some of the sugar with Splenda and applesauce, so you could try that if you want to cut the sugar down. I've always followed this recipe without making any changes and it's been fine.

    4 1/2 cups is not four half cups it is four and a half cups. I think about 18oz/515g.
