This is my go-to recipe when guests are dropping by at the last minute. It’s so quick and easy – with ingredients I always have in the cupboard AND it doesn’t even have eggs or milk in it – Great for guests with allergies 🙂 I’ve included the icing recipe but to be honest, I never make the icing. The cake is so ‘melt-in-your-mouth’ moist in the middle and crispy on the outside, it doesn’t need icing.
