sponge recipe suitable for giant cupcake?

Hi Everyone

I have a giant cup cake mould and wanted to make a cake for my sister's birthday. Does anyone have a suitable recipe?

The mould is huge :eek:, so not sure if this should determine the type of recipe I need?

Firstly, will this actually fit into your oven? What is the actual measurements of the mould?
I wouldn't make a sponge- type cake bigger than a 12 inch diameter, in a home oven, as the outside would burn before the middle of the cake was cooked.
Often this type of cake is "built up" of several smaller cakes.

yep, it will fit in the oven.. just!

i was thinking exactly the same; about the inside cooking before the outside burnt....

suppose i'd better get practising!
