Seven inch cake tin

joolsveer

I haven't baked a cake in years and I threw out my old tins sometime in the past. I came across an old cookery book that I got a present of in 1979 (written by Marguerite Patten). It has a recipe for a Genoa light fruit cake that I used bake. A seven inch round tin is specified but the only tin I can get is eight inch.
I have tried baking in this tin but the cake is almost flat. Where can I get a seven inch tin in the Dublin area? I live in Dublin 15 but can't find a seven inch tin in the shopping centre in Blanchardstown.

Have you tried TK Maxx? They tend to have a good selection.

You could scale up the ingredients by about 1/3rd or 30 per cent, which will give you the same depth in an 8 inch tin as the original recipe does in a 7 inch tin.

You get more cake as well!
