Level out using the spatula.

Place in the oven on the middle shelf. (I placed mine on shelf two because I have a large capacity fan oven).

Bake for approximately 1 hour, then check with a skewer to see if fully baked. If the skewer is clean remove from the oven if it is gooey, then bake for additional 5-minute increments until cooked. I baked mine for 1 hour 5 mins.

Place the tin on a baking tray for approximately 5-10 mins then turn out.

When I removed the baking paper, it removed part of the base of the cake.

Once cooled slice and taste test.

Flip back over once cooled and lightly dust with icing sugar for decoration.
