- Step 1
- Preheat oven to 160C. Grease and line a deep 20cm round cake pan.

- Pour mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until dark golden brown, and a skewer comes out clean (test after one hour). Stand cake 5 minutes, then turn onto wire rack to cool completely.

- To prepare the icing, simply stir the ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth.
- Step 5
- Pour the icing over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Serve.
