Hi Sallylewis

If you go to this blog http://www.cakeflix.com/blog/how-to-work-out-what-size-cake-tin-to-use you’ll see a ready reckoner or the cakeometre, you can scale the recipe down using either one of these tools. The whole recipe is for a 10″ square so you have to use that as original tin size when working out your ingredients for the size you need. There are lots of hints and tips from other members who have baked this recipe and you’ll find their comments if you look under Popular Questions. Happy baking. x

sorry Sally, that would be gas mark 2.
