35 minutes or until cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean.

until smooth and creamy. Makes 1-1/2 cups

Cake Tips:

1. to measure dry ingredients properly, spoon into dry measure until
heaping without packing or tapping, then level off with straight edge
of knife.

2. Beating times for cakes should be followed precisely; if times are
shortened, cake will lack structure; if lengthened, cake will be
tough.

3. Cakes can be well wrapped and frozen for up to 2 weeks.

4. Bake as cupcakes in 18 paperlined muffin cups in 375F 190C oven
for 20 minutes.
