Zippy - you're not just a pretty face are you? Do you think it will be ok if I do it in a loaf tin an whack some lemon icing on?
Thanks!Man plans and God laughs...Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry. But by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it introduces the idea that if we try to understand each other, we may even become friends.0 -

Thanks!
not even
Yes, you will need to adjust the cooking time - normally a carrot cake in a 2lb loaf tin takes just over an hour if full to the brim. See how much of your tin you take up, and then check after say 20 mins - not too often, using a skewer- im sure you know how to check if a cake is cooked!
Lemon icing - mmmmmm
You could probably use the mix to make fairy cakes, or put it in a brownie dish and made sponge slices if that makes sense. What ever floats your boat.:j:D
or you could throw some lemon zest in the cake, and make a drizzle on the top - so make it into a kind of lemon drizzle cake?

No, don't cook a fatless sponge in a loaf tin, it won't cook properly in the middle and will burn on top

I don't know the exact science, but just because of the length of time it will take for the middle to cook, the outside will be overdone by then - Its really not the kind of cake that should be dense. Oh, that gives me an idea, what about a swissroll?It's what is inside your head that matters in life - not what's outside your windowEvery worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph; a beginning, a struggle and a victory. - Ghandi0

Oops too late!
My oven never quite gets up to temperature so maybe that will be a blessing for a change!
This is the third thing that I have made for this friend to say thank you for looking after my cat... the first was a chocolate cake which stuck to the tin but was yummy... the second was fudge... which I made with rice milk so while it tastes yummy it looked very amaemic and odd... and now it is going to be the burnt/raw sponge... which I don't have any butter to make icing with!Man plans and God laughs...Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry.

It will be lovely with lemon drizzle - you could always pop in into the microwave to finish the middle if it doesn't cook It's what is inside your head that matters in life - not what's outside your windowEvery worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph; a beginning, a struggle and a victory. - Ghandi0

It looks perfect!! Who know's what the middle is like though.
I have a tiny bit of cream cheese so I will make that into some icing...
