I'm new to baking but I can follow instructions and want to make a shaped cake for a birthday party..
Because I need to cut it into a shape, google is telling me I need a 'pound cake' recipe so it's denser and easier to cut into a house shape. Is this right? Or will any old sponge cake recipe do?
Also the recipes are for 12 servings and I need double that. Can I just double the ingredients? I've heard that can make things go wrong.
Lastly if I'm using a square or rectangle tin - do I have to make 2 cakes to then put buttercream in between? Or can I make 1 cake and chop it through the centre to make 2 halves and then sandwich them together?
Sorry for these simple questions but it's burning my brain out!! Thanks in advance
