Visited my mum and people asked for cake... The lack of important tools such as a scale or measuring cups did not deter me...

Steps

1

Equipment I used....please use the same cup throughout
2

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

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

Add the water if you feel the mixture is too heavy....I used large eggs therefore saw no need to add it
6

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

Once ready, let it cool before removing it from the pan
9

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