Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Good afternoon

I am making a rich Jamaican rum cake in a 5” deep tin. How many eggs would I need?

I can work out the rest of measurements/weights from the eggs.

Thank you

Judes

Hi Judes

Unfortunately, you haven’t given the diameter of the cake tin being used, just the depth. On this information, if you already have a recipe, use the Cakeflix calculator to re-scale that recipe to the depth you need. The calculator is here:

Cake Calculators

Select the recipe re calculator option.

Alternatively, for Jamaican rum cake, based on recipes I’ve seen, you would require, 1 medium egg (50 grams in shell) for every 100 grams of flour used.

I hope this helps. If you need more information please ask again. 🙂
