Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Step 2

Grease an 8 inch cake pan and line the bottom with a circle of parchment paper. (A 9 inch pan will work but the cake will not be as high and the baking time could be 35-40 minutes. Let the toothpick test be your guide.)

Step 3

Add the flour and baking powder to a bowl and mix together well.

Step 4

Add all of the remaining ingredients and mix for just a couple of minutes until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Step 6

Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the centre springs back when touched and a wooden toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. This recipe took the full 45 minutes in my oven but test it at 40 minutes.

Step 7

Turn out onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Dust the surface with a little icing sugar before serving.

Step 9

Delicious with fresh berries and cream.
