I am not sure how a shopping website in India is going to have the answer to working out cake mixture, so I have reported this.

That is the way I calculate it Tanith, as I buy cheap mixed-weight eggs.

I'd normally weigh the eggs then everything else to that weight..

Thanks, luckygirl. I was intending to use the be-ro milk chocolate cake recipe, but victoria sponge would be easier to scale up as you suggested probably. So four eggs, eight ounces of everything else?

Are you making a Victoria sponge or a fruit cake?

If the former, I would use 4 eggs for each layer - and all the other ingredients scaled up to that.

Can anyone help me work out how much mixture i need to make a cake in a tin approximately 22 x 32 cms (12x8")? It needs to be at least 2" deep. I am making two to sandwich together. I am making my grandson a birthday cake which will cut for at least fifteen but have never made one this big before. I forgot the old Army maxim "never volunteer"!
