Sorry if this is a stupid question ...

I'm planning to make a cake at the weekend (unusual for me!) and the recipe calls for a 1kg loaf tin. I've got a collection of tins (from when I used to bake a lot) but I can't work out which one is the 1kg loaf tin. Does anyone know the measurements of one so that I can check?

Thanks.

A 1kg loaf tin should hold a litre of water - won't be quite full

I was going to say a 2lb tin too- so a large rather than small loaf tin
