A bit of an odd request.
Could someone give me instructions on how to make one?
Basically, I used to have an insulating device made from folded up newspaper with silver foil on the outside. When I made a fruitcake or other rich cake (e.g. madeira) I wrapped this round the outside with some baking paper on top of the tin. The result was that my cakes were always nice and moist.
The problem is that it's now vanished, and as I made it some years ago I can't remember how to do it any more! There was a knack to the method of getting the silver foil to stay put.
I've just made a fruitcake without it and it looks like a lump of coal.
Does anyone know how to do it, or know whether I could buy something like it?
