Super easy! Comments By: Chris
When is the milk added?

TipKing says: I would think when you add the eggs and flour

 
milk Comments By: Rebecca
Theres a similar recipe on the be-ro website, which uses water instead of milk, and the water goes in with the fruit to simmer, so I'd say this was probably the same.
 
flour Comments By: anon
do you use self raising or plain flour
 
wat size tin ? Comments By: cat

Easy and tasty Comments By: Christine
I used a 7" round tin, and as with most cakes, self raising flour. I didnt simmer for 20 minutes prior to baking though, just long enough for butter to melt. I added milk with egg and flour and also a spoonful of mixed spices. Really moist and tasty cake. However, it wont keep for long ... will be eaten within hours.
