  • Preheat oven to 180C and grease and line a 23 cm baking pan or springform pan.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour and sugar, mixed spice and half the nutmeg.

  • Spoon almost half this mixture over the base of the baking pan.
  • Spread it evenly across the base, without packing it down too hard.
  • Keep the other half of the dry mix to one side.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the egg and the milk, then add the rest of the nutmeg and the baking soda and stir through.
  • Pour this into the remaining dry mixture and combine.
  • Pour over the base and bake for 45 minutes.
  • Allow to cool in the tin, then run a knife around the edge before removing,
