Stupid baking question

I've got a recipe for a cake I'm making, but it's for a 18cm cake tin and I've got a 24cm one. The ingredients are:

175g (6oz) margarine or
softened butter

175g (6oz) caster sugar

3 large eggs

150g (5oz) self-raising
flour, sifted

50g (1¾oz) of cocoa, sifted

1tsp baking powder

1tsp vanilla extract

pinch of salt

How much should I increase the ingredients by? Sorry for the dull question but I have brain block and, despite my genius son, am crap at maths.

I'd half the amounts and add that to the mixture. You'll probably have a wee bit left over, but you can bung that in some cake cases for fairy cakes.

Is a 24cm tin also deeper than a 18cm tin? (totally clueless ?).

Oh God, Taffie, I have no idea ?

Thanks, Mandie, will have to remember not to overfill the tin. Thank you ?

Oh, at least it's not just me then. I suspect that the few cakes I make (this is my favourite) are usually thinner than they should be ?

Ah well, it's in the hands of the oven Gods now. I licked the spoon (always the best bit) and the mixture tasted good so I'm hoping for the best ?

Thanks again ?
