Katy Nott replied to denise lovelock's discussion 12"round 4"high fruit cake"Sorry Denise - I missed your question somehow. I agree with suziq re the depth. By the time you add marzipan and icing, it will increase your depth don't forget"

suziq auzzi replied to denise lovelock's discussion 12"round 4"high fruit cake"Guessing that it is a traditional fruitcake, it will be 2.75-3 inches deep... to make a 4inch deep cake you will have to increase the mixture by another third ...

Hi Denise,
Do you mean 12" long and 4" wide, ie an oblong, or do you mean 12" square and 4" high? If you mean the oblong shape, then I think I would use the same as a 7" square, as that represents the equal amount of area, I think. 12 x 4 = 48, 7 x 7 = 49. A member called Les Brown, has posted some very helpful amounts for a really delicious fruit cake in all sizes. Follow this link to his post and see if any of that helps you - http://www.cakeswebake.com/forum/topics/weights-and-sizes-chart-for-les-best-ever-english-fruit-cakes
