Can I double this recipe? I want to feed more people and would rather make a double version than make two cakes. Thoughts?

Can I double this recipe? I know it will take longer to bake but then it will be twice as large and probably feed twice as many people.

The recipe reads like a French Silk Pie. Right down to the 1 pound of butter, the 1 pound of Sugar and the Eggs. Except the pie is not cooked. So eat at own risk!

The only pie I'm willing to risk my life for!

Can't see why not, if you have bowls and pans enough.

Further thoughts - if you want to make a double recipe in one baking pan, you may have to lengthen the baking time and/or check it more often. You will probably get better results in a wider low baking pan (rather than a deep one with smaller length/width or diameter).
