Line a cake tin with baking paper, put 2 layers of tinfoil to the outside and a large baking tray that can hold a paper towel on the bottom of the cake tin and add hot water to 1/3 of the cake tin. Preheat the oven at one 160°C, bake cake for 25 Minutes, then reduce heat to 140 C and bake for a further 55 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully invert cake onto your hand and peel off paper.
