QUICK - HELP - Nigella Xmas cake tin size?????

[motherpeculiar]

am all set to do the Nigella black cake today (thanks for recipe on other thread Crunchie ) but just realised I don't know whether it should be a round or square 23cm tin.

Can anyone with the recipe book take a quick gander and tell me....

(would prefer square as it'd be easier to cut, but have a round tin - don't know whether it makes a difference but assume it does as the volume is surely different depending on shape)

anyone? i need to get the tin this morning if I need the square one....

i don't know which recipe you have but all the xmas cakes in feast are in round 23cm spring tins

hope that helps

It just says 23cm cake tin in Domestic Goddess.

thanks guys - think I will dust off my rusty old maths skills and establish whether there is a huge difference in volume. If not I'm gonna go for the square as I think it'll be easier to cut.

I happen to have a 23cam round tin, so I use that, I would have thought the square tin is a bit bigger, also cutting it isn't easier tbh, as then someone gets all the icing at the corners.
