almost rose above my ring container. Next time I will use the bundt ring which is larger. Easy peasy!
Yay I made this cake, very easy, very tasty, will make this for my daughters first birthday party 🙂
can we cook this in steel tin
I would cook the cake in a microwave safe dish! Keep steel tins for the oven and rather use plastic.
Made this cake yesterday WOW WOW WOW what a pleasant surprise. Was so sceptical because the method was so easy, nearly too good to be true but yes I will definitely make it again and again. I topped it with coffee butter icing.
Just made this – its so easy and very yummy! I didnt have golden syrup in the cupboard – put in some maple syrup and a splash of honey!!! WOW – it all went in minutes – so moist and the flavour is amazing. Wouldnt of known it only took 7 minutes in a microwave!!! Thanks for sharing this great recipe!!! 😀
