The tin for Lemon and Lime Refrigerator Cake

Asked on 5 Feb 2026 by Helena Roberts

Hi, in Delia's recipe for Lemon and Lime Refrigerator cake it states that you need a 2lb loaf tin but the link to the Silverwood loaf tin is for a 1lb loaf tin - which is the one to use for the recipe?

Thanks Helena Roberts

Hello Helena.

Sorry for any confusion! 

The Silverwood 1lb loaf tin is so called because it was designed to make a 1lb loaf of baker’s bread but is equivalent to a traditional boxed style 2lb loaf tin 

It is approximately 19 x 12 cm x 9 cm deep and has a capacity of about 1250mls.

We’ve had our Silverwood tins since 2012 when we tested all the cake book recipes. They are very well used, and still as good as new.
