Big Top - cake recipe?

[Harimad]

Hiya,

I bought a Big Top cake mold to make my daughter's 1st birthday cake, not realising that the only 'instructions' it contains is to buy 2 x cake mixes!

I'd much prefer to make my own (particularly as my nephew has a nut allergy and I want to be sure he can have some cake), but haven't a clue how much mix to make...

Anyone got a tried and tested recipe for this mold?

Many thanks!

Bump!

Bump!
Am I the only person to have bought one of these? :o

Is this one of those huge cup cake things? If so, I would try a Madeira as it is fairly firm and should take the shape quite well. I don't know the volume of the pan though, so recipe quantity could be difficult.

According to you situation 5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake suit on you.It is easy to make.surely
you will not find problem as before. try it.
It will take 5 minute to cook.

Ingredients

* 4 Tablespoons Flour
* 4 Tablespoons Sugar
* 2 Tablespoons cocoa
* 1 Egg
* 3 Tablespoons Milk
* 3 Tablespoons Sunflower oil
* 3 Tablespoons Chocolate chips (Optional)
* 1 Splash Vanilla Extract
* 1 Splash Favorite Tipple (Optional)
* 1 Large Coffee Mug

Method

* Add dry ingredients to your largest mug and mix well.
  Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
  Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.
  Add the chocolate chips (if using), vanilla extract and a drop or two of your favourite tipple, then mix again.
  Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts (high).
  The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
  Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
  EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).
  If your feeling very very naughty, cover liberally in Bailey's Irish Cream.

Thanks for responses, managed to sort something out as was offline over Xmas.

5 min cake mix sounds delish - will have to try it!!
