Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 170 deg c. Spray tin with oil and line the base of a round 18cm cake pan with non-stick baking paper.

3. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface. Bake in preheated oven for 55 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
