Hi, Jane. Your videos are so inspirational for me. I’ve started to bake now. Could you do a video on a Bundt cake also another video on how to pipe cupcakes. Thank you.

[@JanesPatisserie]

Ah thank you! I'll add them to my list!

[@saadmaal3869]

@@JanesPatisseriehi Jane. You mixed the flour and eggs together. Does that not ruin the air you whipped into the butter mix? How can we avoid over mixing with this method please? Thank you

[@KatePerry-kr3pf]

This was a massive success! Thank you so much! One question, is it best stored in the fridge or just on the side?

[@JanesPatisserie]

Just on the side! The fridge will dry it out!

[@shirleylewis3490]

Hi Jane, so good!! Just wondering …can this cake be used to make a number birthday cake? Is it stable enough to carve?

[@JanesPatisserie]

Yes, it is! It's always best to chill a sponge before carving to make it even easier x

[@tommybrown8845]

Absolutely love School Cake (I think it's called Old School Cake in Scotland?) definitely has to be served with custard, only 'right' way to serve it in my humble opinion.

[@JanesPatisserie]

Ahh I agree!!

[@robertspector9700]

I remember this so well. Absolutely has to be eaten with custard!

[@Julie-u4h]

Hi Jane, what size bulldog clips do you use please? 🙌❤️

[@JanesPatisserie]

They're just a standard size, any work!

[@Julie-u4h]

Thanks Jane ❤

[@yaffacake22]

Alternatively you can crumple the baking paper up for it to lose its 'shape' and then just set it into tray. Should fit nicely ☺️

[@innamaksima6905]

Hello! Is it the same dough as pound cake?

[@KatePerry-kr3pf]

I’m making a football pitch cake for my sons birthday and every recipe I’ve tried for a basic sponge hasn’t worked when I try to double the ingredients (either too moist or too crumbly) so I’m going to try this instead as I have the exact same tin size, wish me luck!

[@jessicabrain-h1l]

Hi jane, i have seen some people add double cream into their mixture, does this make it more moist or help the cake mix in any way? Or shall i avoid double cream?

[@JanesPatisserie]

I’d recommend following the recipe as it is in my video ☺️

[@oovirusooo]

can you make the chocolate version?

[@emmayates6354]

I love making this cake. Always make for the birthdays but put a spot of milk in the sponge. But the only problem is can never get the icing as perfect as this. Any tips. Thanks :) xx

[@Comptonisa]

The icing is so simple though. I use milk instead of water. What goes wrong with yours?

[@JanesPatisserie]

Ah yay!! What do you mean by the icing isn't as perfect? I'm assuming you mean it's thinner so try and really really beat in the water (I wouldn't recommend milk as that means you need to store the cake in the fridge so the cake will dry out), before adding any more to make it thick! x

[@emmayates6354]

@@JanesPatisserie awwww thanks replying back. I'll making this cake again for my wee boys 4th birthday in 2weeks time, I'll do your way :). Ye I mean the white icing, I can never get perfect the way you have done yours :). Apologies for the "wee", I'm from Glasgow lol xx

[@SistersSweetTreats]

Wow

[@Sidal.x]

Hi, may I know what ingredient measurements as they are not listen in the video

[@JanesPatisserie]

They're written in the description box, and the blog post is also linked 🙌

[@vegeveg]

👍🙏🙏

[@janlawson3402]

I made this yesterday to your recipe and found it to be far too fatty and to much ingredients, I used to the same size tin and wasn’t as happy as I was hoping to be 😢

[@Pinkypurrrfect]

I assume you could half the recipe? I’ll all that otherwise 🫣

[@vickyloach1931]

If you search up the recipe on Jane’s Patisserie website and scroll down to notes on the recipe. It is for a 9 inch square tin size.
