I'm back on a baking kick so I thought I'd share this. This is a found recipe so I can only claim credit for the whipped cream dollop and mint leaf, though I have been known to serve it with raspberry puree as well. Oh, the original recipe called for self-raising flour instead of APF but I only have APF so I have included the baking powder and salt; if you use self-raising flour, do NOT add the salt or baking powder.

Steps

15 mins prep, 30-40 cook

1

Preheat oven to 180C. Grease either a 20x10cm loaf pan or a 20 cm round tin and set aside (note: I've only made this in a loaf pan).
2

Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together thoroughly, then sift into a large mixing bowl.
3

Add all the other ingredients in with the sifted flour and stir until smooth.
4

Pour into the loaf pan and bake between 30 and 40 minutes (my oven is small so a tester knife came out clean after about 32 minutes or so).
5

Put on a wire rack to cool.
6

Once the cake is cool, mix together the icing ingredients and, well, ice the cake, of course.
