Instructions

Step 1

Mix cake ingredients until fully combined. The mixture is quite dry.

Step 2

Heat your fan oven to 180C. Line a square 25cm tray with grease proof paper.

Step 3

Pour and flatten the mixture in the pan. And bake at 180C for 20 minutes.

Step 4

Take out the oven and allow to cool fully in the pan.

Step 5

Mix together your icing and pour over the top. Let it dry for an hour before cutting. Enjoy! It is a cupboard stable treat. And I kept at room temp for up to a 2 weeks, however the icing tastes it's best when gooey and not fully dried out.
