  1. 1

    Lightly grease an 18cm (7 inch) cake tin and line the bottom with baking parchment.

    Combine all the cake ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well until thoroughly blended. Turn into the prepared cake tin and level the surface.

    For this step you'll need:

    • 150ml Sunflower oil plus extra for greasing
    • 250g Self-raising wholemeal flour
    • 2tsp Baking powder

    Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (fan 170°C, gas mark 4) for about 50 minutes until the cake is well risen, firm to the touch, and beginning to shrink away from the side of the tin.

    Leave to cool in the tin for a few minutes. Turn out on to a wire cooling rack, peel off the lining paper and leave to cool completely.
