Step 1
Lightly grease a 23cm x 30cm (9in x 12in) traybake tin or small roasting tin with baking parchment.
Step 2
Combine all the cake ingredients in a bowl and beat well for about 2 minutes or until smooth and thoroughly blended.

Turn into the prepared tin and level the surface. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (fan 160°C, gas 4) for 35-40 minutes until the cake is well risen, springy to the touch and beginning to shrink away from the sides if the cake.

Leave to cool slightly in the tin, then turn out on to a wire cooling rack, peel off the lining paper, and cool.
