Ingredients

Original recipe weights. Small quantities stay in measuring spoons; eggs stay as counts. 1 kg = 1,000 g.

Let’s bake

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 165°C (325°F). Lightly grease a metal square tin and line it with baking paper.

  2. 2

    Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix until smooth. Do not overwork the batter.

  3. 3

    Spread the batter evenly in the tin.

  4. 4

    Bake for 30–40 minutes. A skewer should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter. Cool completely before slicing.
