I Hope this makes sense - I don't want to double my cake recipe but add an extra half of the ingredients, example if it calls for 2 eggs I will put in 3, 1 and 1/5 cups flour I would put in 2.25 cups, will this have OK results!

Make sure you do your sums correctly.1 and 1/5 cups (i.e. 1.2 c) of flour multiplied by 150% is 1 and 4/5 c (1.8c) not 2.25c.And be careful to use the correctly sized tin otherwise the cake will be the wrong height and won't cook properly.

I get what you mean mattdylan. I have a loaf recipe that needs to be a half again to fit my tins. so if current recipe is 1½ cups flour you will need 2¼ cups I suggest you halve the recipe first then add that half to the original. eg 4oz butter, 4oz sugar, 2 eggs, 1½ cups flour, 1½ tsp baking powder, ½cup milk and rind of a lemon or orange or lime. doing what you want to make, this then would become 6oz each of butter and sugar, 2¼cups flour, 2¼ tsps baking powder, 3/4cup milk, but still use the rind of one citrus fruit.

yes it should work as long as all ratios are correct. Not like the lady in the dinner competition programe yesterday. I laughed my head off, she was working on a total of 23, then had to minus 7 and came out with an answer of 26! repeatedly.Yeh she was blonde!
