What size cake will this recipe make? I want to make a 14" square sponge cake but dont know how much to make. I can see on the USA chart how many cups of mixture it takes but dont know how to convert this to UK measurements.

Hi there i use a mix almost the same as this except i use self raising flour what would the difference in the sponge be between the two flours?

Thanks Kyle

I did 2x this recipe and it filled a 3" tall 8" pan

Hi, I also used double this recipe to make an 8" round cake (almost 3" tall).

Just one thing though, it was fully cooked and had risen beautifully but the next morning I took it out to ice - and the middle had sunken into a crater :-[ any reason for this? can someone please help me? or offer any suggestions to avoid this next time?

I have a very good, accurate oven and it was at night when everyone had already gone to bed so there were no loud noises/bangs to cause it sink...

what's the oven temp that you all used?

Can anyone tell me how many recipes for a full sheet cake?

This was a wonderful, moist cake! I doubled the recipe for 2 sq 8" pans. Bree, I can only imagine for a sheet cake, 8-10 batches. :/ LOL I'll know next week. I plan on using this recipe for a wedding cake. I'll post again :)

CandyCU I had a similiar problem with a cake once, try replacing your baking powder

Will this cake hold up well for stacking and decorating with fondant?

this sounds similar to a manderia cake. I have never tried a manderia, so someone tell me what it's like please.

Will this cake hold up fondant and stacking?

This is very similar to the sponge recipe for a Victoria sponge cake the only difference being I would use self rasing flour and not the baking powder.

Kenikenmaui - you can stack and use fondant on Victoria sponge and it compliments it very nicely.

The cake was great but it was rock hard within 4 hours any sugesstions?
