Instruction
- <p>Preheat the oven to 180°C/Fan 160°C/gas 4. Lightly grease a deep, round 20cm cake tin and line the base with non-stick baking parchment.</p> <p>Put all the ingredients for the cake into a large bowl and mix until thoroughly blended; an electric mixer is best for this, but of course you can also beat by hand with a wooden spoon. Turn the mixture into the prepared tin and gently level the surface.</p> <p>Bake for 50–60 minutes, until the cake is well risen, golden and beginning to shrink away from the sides of the tin. A fine skewer inserted into the centre of the cake should come out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then loosen the side of the cake from the tin with a small palette knife or a blunt knife, turn the cake out onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely.</p> <p>For the topping, put the mascarpone cheese into a small bowl, add the vanilla extract, icing sugar and walnuts and beat together. Spread evenly over the top of the cake. Store the iced cake in the fridge.</p> <p> </p>
