• Bake for about 35 minutes - when you gently press on the top of the cake it should spring back.
• Take out of the oven and leave to cool before removing form the tin.
• I usually double the quantity and cook in a 23" round cake tin (deep). It's enough to feed an army - or a very hungry family at least!
