2. Sift all dry ingredients and mix it together.

3. Combine all liquid ingredients together except for the boiling water. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the liquid ingredients.

4. Mix well using a wire whisk or hand mixer until well blended.

5. Add the boiled water and mix well.

6. Transfer the batter into the prepared baking tray. Bake in a pre-heated oven for 45 minutes. Insert a stick in the centre of the cake to test if it’s done. If the stick comes out clean then it’s ready.
