This is the worst cake I've ever baked! Not only was it lacking instructions, e.g., how long to leave in the tin before turning out, it doesn't include baking powder or bicarbonate of soda, both of which I added, but alas, after cooling in the pan for 20 minutes on a wire rack, and going around the cake to loosen it, it would not turn out. Finally it did, but not in one piece. I patched it together but I certainly won't be making this one again.
