Looks good CC. Love the shape, can't say I have seen a tin like that before.

Cornish Cream that looks amazing!  I make all my cakes in TM now, but I still use my Kitchen Aid for pavlova 

That is a very unusual tin.

Thanks Dede and Knittercook,I bought the cake tin from Lakeland but Willams Sonoma sell it as well.

  I make all my cakes in TM now

I usually do my cakes in my TM as well knittercook but I felt there was quite a bit of cake mixture and didn't want to run the risk of stripping my blades.

Just noticed this thread by pure accident.  I was searching for 'chicken' recipes.   
That is a beautiful cake tin.
I have never seen anything like it.  Would be great for parties where each portion is a perfect serving size.

Thanks Rosie.I'm having great fun using the cake tin
I liked this recipe so much I bought the cookery book from Amazon Market Place secondhand for a penny,although the postage and packing was £2.60.Super recipes in the book,not good for the waistline unfortunately.

Yay, made this thursday for my sons second birthday yesterday. Cake was a big hit and I think I will add to my standard yummy cakes. Especially for school!!! I'm not sure how o post photos, but here is one way I know should work... This is what I did with it.

Thanks again, was a real hit. ( no party was just for the family, but we all loved it, and grandparents did come around after dinner for cake n coffee)

Lilli3, well done on the cake.

I noticed that you had different levels for each side of the tin. I made this once  & it was a disaster, one side overcooked, other side not cooked.

Yeah I kinda just guessed, knowing it was prob a denser cake and with a tapered side and a thick side they would cook differently. It rose nicely though. The base sank a little so think it could have had a bit longer and the top rose beautifully. (and stayed) would prob add a little less to the base next time and make some cupcakes too. MIL loved the cake flavor though and has asked for the recipe!!!

Am making again today with raspberries mixed through and mate a dusting of icing!
