Asked on 27 Oct 2018 by Jacky

Hi, I'm making the Christmas sherry cake but want to make a 6" cake instead of the 8" as per the recipe. How do I scale down the ingredients please. Thank you.

Hello,

I think that half of the Christmas Sherry Mincemeat Cake recipe will work in a 6 inch tin.

You could use 2 medium eggs or if you’re using large ones beat them and use ¾ of the mixture.

I would take a peek after an hour to see how it’s doing.

Remember to reduce the temperature by 20 degrees if you are using a fan setting.

Best wishes

Lindsey
