Instructions

Step 1

Turn on the oven at 150°C

Step 2

Spread butter and flour in a cake tin and remove excess flour

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix all PART 1 dry ingredients together

Step 4

In a saucepan, add all the PART 2 ingredients and put on a medium heat until everything is dissolved.

Step 5

Then, add the wet ingredients in the dry ingredients and mix together. The dough must be sticky. If it's too runy add more flour. If too sticky add more water.

Step 6

Put the dough in your prepared tin and add whatever toppings you want (I quite like adding sugar beads)

Step 7

Tips: you can add some sugar on top (white, brown...) to make it slightly caramelise when baking.

Step 8

Bake for an hour.

Step 9

Once cooked, cover with a muslin or aluminium foil until the cake has cooled down. Enjoy!
