10" victoria sponge

[NickyKB]

It's my LO's 2nd birthday this weekend and having made a disappointingly dry madeira cake last year I want to stick to my reliable Mary Berry all in one victoria sponge only problem is the largest amount the recipe is for is for an 8" cake and I'm hoping to make a 10" sandwich.

Does anyone know how I go about increasing the recipe so it still makes the same depth etc?

The current recipe is 4 eggs 8oz sugar, SR flour, butter and 2tsp baking powder

Thank you

Thank you for the reply the party was yesterday so i'd already made the cake but after a lot of googling I did get the answer you gave! In case anyone else is googling in the future for every inch of tin diameter you go up add an extra egg and 2oz of each of the ingredients+1/2tsp baking powder so for 10 inch it was 6 eggs +12oz others+3tsp baking powder - it got good reviews!
