Crumbly and not pretty. Pity I chose this recipe to take to a work meeting first thing tomorrow morning, it's now too late to try another recipe so I have to take an ugly looking crumbled cake with me.

Kim

Jaya

Best cake ever. This is so moist. Love that it's a simple yet delicious. Only a couple of changes, I used 2 and half spoons of baking powder and put it in the oven for around 35 minutes.

Method

Preheat oven to 180ºC bake. Grease and line an 18cm square baking tin.

Place all cake ingredients together in a food processor, in the order listed above, and process for 15 seconds.

Pour mixture into prepared tin and bake for 20-25 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

For topping - mix the lemon juice, Chelsea White Sugar and boiling water together to form a runny syrup. Spoon topping onto cake while hot. Leave to cool in tin.

NOTE: This recipe can also be made with electric hand mixers. Place all cake ingredients in a bowl in the stated order and mix until combined.
