Can I bake sponge mixture in a small loaf tin? I got rid of all my cake tins some time ago.
Thanks for any advice.

Yes Phyll you can. I do it all the time as we like the square shaped slices. I do fruit and Lemon Drizzle in them too :-)

Don’t forget you might need to adjust the cooking time.

I often throw some fruit in the bottom of a pan and then pour sponge over the top, just cook until it springs back like you would in a cake tin. Enjoy.
