Instructions
 

To make the cake:

  • Stir well until the mix is smooth (use a large whisk if necessary).
  • Pour the mixture into the lined loaf pan (it’ll be quite runny) and bake for 55 minutes until a skewer pushed into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
  • Leave the cake to cool in the tin before turning it out.
