1

Make sure the kneading blade is attached to the inner pan and then add the ingredients to the pan in the order listed above (apart from the glaze). Make sure the dry ingredients are in the centre of the pan as much as possible.

2

Place the inner pan into the Mini Home Bakery, close the lid and plug in the machine. Select the CAKE course and set the crust to ‘regular’. Press START.

3

When the beep sounds for adding ingredients, lift the lid and with a soft spatula scrape the sides of the inner pan to remove any of the flour that might be left there.

4

Close the lid and press START.

5

When the cooking cycle has finished, remove the inner pan from the machine and leave to cool for a few minutes. Using over gloves, tip the cake carefully out and place on a wire rack to cool.
