Points to remember

  • Always pre-grease your tins.
  • For a springform round tin, measure around the base of the tin with a pencil to get an accurate fit with the paper.
  • To line the sides, use the offcuts from cutting out your base. Fold the strips of paper at the bottom and snip on a diagonal to get a fanned effect that will sit neatly in the tin.
  • For a loaf tin, use your pencil to mark out a strip that's longer than your tin so the paper acts as handles when getting the cake out.
  • You can also line the sides if you want to be extra careful, cutting out two strips and folding down the corners.

Why do some recipes say to line outside of the tin with newspaper?

This is if you are cooking a Christmas cake over a long period to protect the outside of the cake from becoming overcooked.
