Method

Put all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and combine well until evenly blended. You can use a stand mixer, a food processor, a hand held mixer or a even a wooden spoon for this.

Transfer the mixture into the lined tin and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 40-50 minutes, or until the cake is well risen and firm to touch. When it is done it will shrink from the sides of the tin.

After about 40 minutes, insert a knife or skewer at the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, your cake is done. If not the put it back in the oven for another 5 minutes.

Once done, keep the tin outside for 5 minutes, then invert it on a cooling rack. Let the cake cool completely.

Put the cake in the refrigerator until ready to be served.
