The reason why people are having two issues - longer bake times than stated and an excess of icing - is because the tin size stated in the recipe is wrong. A 23cm tin will give you an incredibly tall cake that will take over an hour to bake, and needs only a small amount of icing. It will look at least twice as tall as in the picture!To get a cake like in the picture that uses the correct baking times stated and plenty of surface area for icing, you need to use a large rectangle tin - at least twice as large as the 23cm tin stated.I bake it in a large rectangle tin, cut it in half and freeze one half for another time. Or you could sandwich the halves together with icing to create an impressive layer cake., approved=true, user_name=Shelly, hs_createdate=1702249880110, rating_new__1_5_=4, id=11175656476}, {comment_text=Easy to prepare and beautiful end product., approved=true, user_name=Stephanie, hs_createdate=1702249879468, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175370139}, {comment_text=I have been making this cake for years.

Method

Preheat oven to 160°C bake.
For a single layer cake, use a 23-24cm round cake tin (at least 6cm deep). For a double layer cake, use 2 x 20-21cm round cake tins. Grease the tin/s and line with baking paper.

Beat eggs and Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar together. Stir in oil, then add all other ingredients. Mix well. Pour into prepared tin/s.

Bake for 45 minutes (2 cake layers) or 55 minutes (single layer cake), until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Stand in the tin/s for 20 minutes then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Spread with cream cheese icing when cold.

Cream Cheese Icing
Beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add Chelsea Icing Sugar, vanilla and sufficient milk to make a light fluffy icing consistency. Spread over cake/s (sandwiching layers together if applicable) and decorate with chopped nuts if desired.
