We would recommend a 25-30cm cake tin if baking in one tin. Try 4 hours but keep an eye on it as all ovens are different.

My element wasn't even hot after 2 minutes so didn't do much to the mixture at all. In fact the mixture was still cold. Is the desired effect to just have the butter melted and incorporated? Thanks.CHELSEA SUGAR: Hi there, we recommend heating for 2 minutes once your element has warmed up. Yes, the idea is just to heat the mixture enough to melt the butter and incorporate everything together nicely., approved=true, user_name=Liz, hs_createdate=1702249869278, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175567438}, {comment_text=Would this recipe be suitable for making mini Christmas cakes?
