14 inch Fruit Cake Recipes

I have received many requests for recipes for 14 inch cakes, so have calculated the following recipes for both round and square tins.

When making such large cakes it is important to double line the inside of the tin and also to wrap the outside with newspaper.  Take two double pages and fold in three lengthways.  Repeat this until you have enough strips to go round the cake tin.  Hold in place with string.

It is also important to check that these large tins will actually fit in your oven and have space all round once the door is closed.  Some of the slim-line ovens will not take this size.

Finally increase the cooking time.  Cook for about two hours at 160°C then lower the temperature to 150°C until the cake is cooked.  The cooking time may be around 4 hours or more depending on your oven.

For the method for mixing these cakes please follow the instructions on the Rich Fruit Cake Recipes for Various Sized Tins.
