I used the rest of the batter to make 12 tiny cupcakes. In hindsight, it would have been better to just make one large cake, but even though it rose a lot - it still looks fine. (The cupcakes were great testers too!) I found a different recipe online for cream cheese buttercream icing, it kind of flopped but still very yummy. My mama also made this recipe not too long ago and she used a large round cake tin, which also turned out fine. My only problem is that it takes FOREVER to cool. Overall, a good recipe & I would recommend it., approved=true, user_name=Ashley, hs_createdate=1702249869941, rating_new__1_5_=4, id=11175572794}, {comment_text=Great cake, very easy to make but when I took it out the over after 45 minutes it was not close to being finished.

Method

Preheat oven to 160°C bake.
For a single layer cake, use a 23-24cm round cake tin (at least 6cm deep). For a double layer cake, use 2 x 20-21cm round cake tins. Grease the tin/s and line with baking paper.

Beat eggs and Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar together. Stir in oil, then add all other ingredients. Mix well. Pour into prepared tin/s.

Bake for 45 minutes (2 cake layers) or 55 minutes (single layer cake), until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Stand in the tin/s for 20 minutes then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Spread with cream cheese icing when cold.

Cream Cheese Icing
Beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add Chelsea Icing Sugar, vanilla and sufficient milk to make a light fluffy icing consistency. Spread over cake/s (sandwiching layers together if applicable) and decorate with chopped nuts if desired.
