Cake baking tin?!


Question: I am baking a Christmas cake. The recipe calls for a 8" baking tin. The one's in the states are 2" high. How high are the English tin's. I really don't want to have to use my angle food cake pan. Thanks

Yes, they are much, much taller. Is the angel food cake tin a ring with a hole?? You could use that, but you wouldn't need to cook it for as long. There's a really good food gadget webiste in the UK called www.lakeland.co.uk. They have exactly the one you're looking for and they ship to the US (search for cake tin). Have a groovy Christmas xx

Christmas cake is a pound cake so they dont really rise much.. but you do have to cook it for a long long time! but oh so good... just put it into a 9 inch spring form and have at it.. 2/3 of the way up the side is fine. have fun!

The tins I use for fruit cakes are about 4" high, I like to make a deep cake that ends being about 3 1/2 ", you get a more moist result but thats just personnal choice. The cake mix doesn't rise very much at all so if you lined your tin with greaseproof paper leaving a 2" cuff out of the top you could almost fill your tin to the top, but you'd still end up with a shallow cake.
