• 5 bake for 60 minutes turn cake out onto a plate or wire rack after removing it from over and allow to cool. if you like you can dust the top of the cake with powder sugar.
• 6 you can turn the cake out on a plate and put a piece of bread or paper towel on top of it then cover with cling film or saran wrap. i find that this keeps the cake nice and moist, even around the edges.
