What size tin does your favourite recipe use - I'll then scale your recipe for you

RealButter

If it's a round tin:
325g butter
570g caster sugar
4tsp vanilla essence
5 eggs
125g SR flour
350g P flour
2 1/2 tsp bicarb
110g cocoa powder
500ml milk

Cook at 180 C/ 350 F/ Gas 4 for 1 1/2 hours

Beat butter, sugar, vanilla until fluffy
Add eggs, one at a time
Mix all dry ingredients
Alternately add dried mixture and milk to egg/butter mix
Spoon into prepared tin.

Thanks for your quick replies. It is a round tin and Penelope i usually just use a 'bung' it all in together recipe of 6oz flour, marg, caster sugar, 3 eggs and a tablespoon of coco powder.

RealButter i'll try your recipe.....will i be ok to just grease and flour the tin before pouring the mixture in, or will i need to line it first with greased greaseproof paper?

RealButter

I would grease the tin then line it, but grease and flour may work better fo ryou than it ever does for me!

Help...i'm making this cake at the moment and i've only put half the milk in but the mixture is falling off my wooden spoon nicely...do i still need to put the rest of the milk in?....or will this make it too runny?

Can anyone help pls

When I first aw that recipe, it looked like too much liquid. I'd stop there, bake and see how you go

Let us know how it turns out.
