Hello I've just followed your 8" Xmas cake recipie to the letter. When I'd combined everything mine didn't look like there was any cake batter. Instead of being like your batter all beige creamy batter mines invisible haha..I poured it in tin and could still move the fruit about. Any ideas why this has happened please.

I would move it down one notch so that it's not too close to the top of the oven. Happy Baking 😊 xx

In the notes for 8in Square, you indicated 110g of butter, brown sugar and flour but your video mentioned 275g for butter, sugar and flour.

Hi are the eggs medium or large please?
@MysteryBaker

I used medium but if you only have large eggs, just adjust the cooking time by adding 10 more minutes. Hope that helps you? 🍰😘
