Peter, a round tin will do. It's what I always use!

Love the imperial measurements x

[Peter]

How much do I know about baking all cakes are round not loaf shape, lol:)

[Gosia]

Thanks for a recipe. I will try once I recalculate the measurements

[Hazel]

@pennystot @gosia

Yes, I'm old fashioned and only have scales which measure in ozs. It's always a problem when different measurements are used!
