  6. 3 tbspwater or milk...if needed
  7. 3large eggs
  8. Equipment needed

  10. Cup...I used the thermos mug

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Equipment I used....please use the same cup throughout

  2. 2

    Get all your ingredients ready...eggs should be at room temperature.. Preheat oven if using one...set up your mawe tatu technique

  3. 3

    Break your eggs. Mix with sugar and the oil....mix till all the sugar dissolves.. It will take about 10 minutes.... A whisk works best...mwiko works well too

  4. 4

    Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl and sift them...add them to the wet ingredients in bits, folding them in gently till well combined

  5. 5

    Add the water if you feel the mixture is too heavy....I used large eggs therefore saw no need to add it

  6. 6

    Transfer it to your greased baking tin....tap to remove any trapped air bubble

  7. 7

    If using an oven bake for 180 for about 35-40 min....if using a charcoal oven or mawe tatu....check after 30 min...the nice aroma from the cake will alert you..Insert a knife or skewer, if it comes out clean it is ready

  8. 8

    Once ready, let it cool before removing it from the pan

  9. 9

    Enjoy with a cup of tea as you watch the cows graze...

  10. 10

    Yum!Yum!
