Christmas cake tin size

Sorry if the answer to this is posted elsewhere but I couldn't find it.

I am just about to make my christmas cake, fruit is soaking etc.

The tin I was going to use is pretty big, but having measured out the ingredients I think there will be too much even for my huge tin.

Would I be able to split in in to two smaller tins without it burning and going hard?

The recipie says to cook for 4 hours at 150 degrees

    Imagine you may have cooked it by now. I would defintely reduce the cooking time. If you check online you can find a recipe with same size cake tin and adapt your timings to suit.
    Good luck

  • yes, i would agree with the above, sorry if its too late now but if you do separate you can reduce the time and maybe take the heat down a bit. are you sure its definitely too much for the tin? dont forget it wont actually rise very much if at all. try 120 degrees.

    Sales, boots, charity shops, ebay- why would anyone ever pay full price for anything??!
