Well, it worked OK. I wound up using my 81% increase theory, and it was perfect. As for the cooking time, I just sort of kept checking on it. In the end, it took an extra 15 minutes or so.
Yay! It looks fantabulous!

Chocolate cake's not really my thing, which is good news as it means I don't eat much of it! I'd MUCH rather have some of your apple tart!

I'm late to the thread, but to make a heart without buying a heart tin, make a square and a circle. Cut the circle in half and make a heart from the 2 circle halves and the square.  That's what I did for Tim :D

OK. I'm going to make this cake for my bf for Valentine's Day.

It calls for an 8" (20cm) heart-shaped cake tin which, of course, I couldn't find in the shops yesterday. The tin I bought says it's 11.5"x10" (29cmx25cm). I can easily work out the math and increase the ingredients accordingly, but which measurement do I use? The 11.5" or the 10"? When the recipe says it's an 8" tin, which part are they measuring??

Also, any idea about baking time? I can always just keep an eye on it and guess when it's ready, but it would be nice to have a slight idea of how much longer it'll take to be done.

OK, masterbakers! Help me!  ;)

Just found this! Text me next time and i'll give you some quick advice!   :-*  Looks lovely! :)

Another late addition, but to slice a cake horizontally I use dental floss and loop it around the cake lining it up where I want to cut. Then slowly pull the ends as if you were tying a knot but keep pulling and it makes the slice for you. Sorry, poor description but hopefully you get the idea. :)

I do get the idea and it makes perfect sense! Thanks!
