Method

  • 1. Preheat oven to 180 °C/gas mark 4.

  • 2. Tip all cake ingredients into large mixing bowl and beat for 2-3 minutes, mixture will drop easily off spoon.

  • 3. Spoon mixture into tin and smooth with back of spoon. I use an oblong tin which measures 9" x 8", lined with baking parchment. You could also use a round tin.

  • 4. Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden & firm to the touch.

  • 5. Beat together icing ingredients and pour over the cake while it is still HOT.

  • 6. Cool in tin & slice.

    • I was sceptical as it was sooooo easy....This cake is absolutely delicious. I couldnt believe how much it rose, and the taste was better than any we had had before. A huge thumbs up from the whole family.

    • This cake was a real hit with girl friends who came round for coffee, I had to print it for them to take away. I am going to try it with a couple of spoons of lemon juice in the mixture next time as I like mine sharp. Easy to makle a child could do it.
