Bake at 180°c, 350°f, gas mark 4 for one hour and 20 minutes, remove when cooked and let cool on a wire rack.
Serve and Enjoy!
A lovely cake but I would question the length of baking time. I thought 1 hr 20 rather long so I set the buzzer on my cooker for 1 hour; I checked the cake at 50 mins and it was already cooked and burning on the top. Next time I bake it, I think I will cook initially for 40 minutes.
