Step 1
Prepare your syrup by combining all of the ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and when the sugar has dissolved, reduce heat to medium. Allow to cook for approximately 5 minutes and then remove syrup from heat. Allow to cool. Note: we don’t like this cake overly syrupy, however, if you do, please feel free to increase the quantities for the syrup above.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 3
In a large bowl combine all of the cake ingredients. The order is not particularly important. Stir until very well combined with a rubber spatula or large plastic or wooden spoon. Mix very well until the entire batter is uniform.
Step 4
Grease your baking pan ( we used a 10 inch round cake pan) with vegetable oil, being sure to cover the bottom and sides.
Step 5
Pour in your batter. Spread it around so that it is evenly distributed. Bake in center of oven for approximately 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 6
When your cake is done, remove it from the oven and gently poke holes in it, using a skewer or a sharp knife. Pour the cooled syrup all over the cake, about 1/2 cup (125 ml) at a time. The syrup will be absorbed by the cake.
Step 7
Allow your cake to cool and serve it directly from your baking pan.
Step 8
Enjoy!
