To make the cake

Add all the wet ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix until there are no lumps. Add all the dry ingredients to the bowl and mix until there are no pockets of flour or wet ingredients. Be careful to not overmix the batter!

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.

To make the frosting

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!

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
