Help a baking novice pls!

I want to bake this cake, but double the quantity. There are lots of formulas online for getting the right baking times BUT I wondered if the fact it has a lot of wet ingredients (oil/eggs/pineapple/syrup) might mean it just sits in the oven forever and never bakes?

Could you double quantities but bake in 2 tins and then sandwich together

That is a very good point, had not thought of that 🤦‍♀️ !

I wouldn't do that, as you need a deep tin for the quantities given, so you'd end up with a huge double decker cake that wouldn't fit in anybody's mouth except a blue whale! I would personally go for baking it in a roasting tin and hope for the best. Alternatively, use two identical tins and make and frost two cakes; or bake them, put them together on a board and cover the two with frosting so it looks oblong. Would that work?

I would go with dementedpixie and make two turning it into a sandwich cake , most people use a fork to eat cake so size wouldn't be an issue
