Hi there!

I'm going to try to make a Wilton Number 1 shaped cake for my daughters first birthday next week but i've no idea how to make a sponge that large! Any recipes I can use? The tin is 16"x11"x3".

Thank you!x

    2 x Vanilla pods or
    zest of 4 lemons or oranges or
    Chocolate replace 100g of SR flour with 100g cocoa powder and 100g belgian choc (add when you mix butter and sugar)

    1. Put oven on 200/ Gas 6
