Pour the batter into your cake tin. Bake for 30 minutes or until you can insert a skewer or toothpick in the middle and it comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the tin.

Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl and cream the ingredients until smooth.

When the cake has fully cooled, spread the frosting on the cake. Cut the cake as desired and serve!
