Sift all the dry ingredients in to a mixing bowl.

Combine all the wet ingredients and mix well into the flour mixture, whisk until smooth.

Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin and bake for 45-55 minutes, until a testing knife comes out clean, the cake should spring back when lightly pressed.

We all tucked into this cake after a lovely cliff top walk, we walked for hours, looking out to sea, listening to the waves, watching the sea gulls, mindfully walking and connecting with nature. We built up a good appetite and enjoyed every mouthful.
