I'm making my DD's birthday cake tomorrow and I've hired a 10" round cake tin and will line with silicone greaseproof paper. I bake quite a bit but I'm quite a cautious cook!
So I'll do a 5 large egg sponge cake mix (probably Mary Berry's), its only being covered in coloured fondant and will be eaten the next day. I don't like madeira although I know thats a stronger mix.
But what I can't figure out is how long to bake it for in a fan oven? And temperature. I did also wonder about wrapping the tin in brown paper to avoid the outside being charcoal before the inside?
Thanks for any advice
