Hi, well when I make a large cake 10 inch round tin(I use two 10 inch cake tins ) than use 1lbs 2oz of everything but 2 ozs extra flour. Then use Camp Liquid coffee. to taste or coffee granules mixed with a little hot water ,then cool down. When the cakes are completely cold fill with buttercream and coffee as before for cake.
